(Chorus)
Away-o
Away-o
Away-o
On you go
A wrinkle in my sail
I know that air ain't free
Billy took out his needle and thread
And said these words to me:
(Chorus)
A new face in my bed
Fulfilled a vacancy
Outstretched arms that touched my soul
And made sweet love to me.
(Chorus)
My dog, he died a year ago
Right by his burial place
I knelt down; an old greyhound
He came and licked my face.
