Lyrics:

The prettiest girl in all the world
Is in a little Spanish town
But I left her for a bonnie lass
And I told her I'd see her around
But that bonnie lass and her heart of glass
Would not hold a candle to bumming around
So don't cry for me 'cause I'm going away
And I'll be back some lucky day

Well, tell the boys back home
That I'm doing just fine
I left all my troubles and woe
So sing about me, for I can't come home
I've many, many, many more miles to go
Why, there's Miss Kelsey, she taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O'Toole, I'll still beat you at pool
So don't cry for me, for I'm going away
And I'll be back some lucky day

Now when I was a boy my daddy sat me on his knee
And he told me, he told me many things
And he said, 'son, There's a lot of things in this world
You're gonna have no use for
And when you get blue and you've lost all your dreams
There's nothin' like a campfire and a can of beans'

Why, there's Miss Kelsey, she taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O'Toole, I'll still beat you at pool
So don't cry for me, for I'm going away
And I'll be back some lucky day
So don't cry for me, for I'm going away
And I'll be back some lucky day
