I don't know where I'm going Now that I am gone I hope the wind that's blowin' Helps me carry on Turn on your radio, baby Listen to my song Turn on your night light, baby Baby, I'm gone I don't know how it happened Now that i am gone I hope i never hear it, baby Just in case i'm wrong Turn on your record player Listen to my song Turn on your night light, baby Baby, I'm gone I don't where life's going But soon it will be gone I hope the wind that's blowin Helps me carry on Turn on your radio, baby Listen to my song Turn on your night light, baby Baby I'm gone Baby, baby I'm gone. Baby, I'm gone.

The times were hard and the wages low Amelia, where you bound? Oh the Rocky Mountains are my home Across the western ocean It's a land of plenty there, you'll see Amelia, where you bound? I am off across the western sea Across the western ocean To Liverpool I'll make my way Amelia, where you bound? To Liverpool the seaport town Across the western ocean Beware those packet ships I pray Amelia, where you bound? They'll steal your gold and your stores away Across the western ocean The times were hard and the wages low Amelia, where you bound? Oh, the Rocky Mountains are my home Across the western ocean

The blackest crow that ever flew would surely turn to white if every I prove false to you bright day would turn to night bright day would turn to night my love the elements would mourn if ever I prove false to you the seas would rage and burn

Oh after the morning, there comes an evening And after the evening, another day And after a false love, there comes a true love It is hard to hold them that will not stay My love he is as a fair a young man As fair as any the sun shines on But how to save him? I do not know it For now he's got a sentence to be hung As he was a-marching the Streets of Derry I own he marched up right manfully Being much more like a commanding officer Than a man to die upon the gallow's tree What keeps my love? She's so long in coming Oh what detains her so long from me? Or does she think it a shame or scandal To see me die upon the gallow's tree He looked around and he saw her coming As she rode swifter than the wind I'll let them see that they dare not hang you And I'll crown my love with a bunch of green
5.
Yesterday, any way you made it was just fine So you turned your days into night time Didn't you know? You can't make it without ever even trying Somethings on your mind Let these times show you that you're breaking up the lines Leaving all your dreams too far behind Didn't you see? You can't make it without ever even trying Somethings on your mind Maybe another day you'll wanna feel another way You can't stop crying You haven't got a thing to say You feel you wanna run away There's no use trying I've seen the writing on the wall Who cannot maintain will always fall Well you know, You can't make it without ever even trying And somethings on your mind Somethings on your mind Isn't it?
