I'M GOING FAR AWAY, LOVE. Copyright, 1892. by Willis Woodward & Co. Entered at Stationers' Hall, London. Words and Music by Paul Dresser. 
I sat down by you, darling, and begged you to forgive; In anger then you spurned me from your side. I know that you were hasty, but still you may regret The words you spoke in passion and in pride. But I return again, love; one heart it aches with pain, love, But now another story I will tell: Let as be friends, tho' parted, for I am broken-hearted; I've only come to say a last farewell. 
Chorus. I'm going far away, love, but I'll return someday, love; And while I'm gone, let your heart conquer pride. If the same old flame shall bum, love, when your heart It shall yearn, love; Then I'll return to claim you as my bride, my bonny bride! 
My love, can you remember, on evening long ago, When we sat 'neath the branches of a tree; Where we pledged vows eternal and said, then, that our love In future years should ever constant be? Those days seem like a dream, love; just think what might have been love; But now I'm going very far away. Take back this little token; tho' vows are lightly broken, I know that you will send for me some day.-Chorus.
