Lyrics:

Hello, my babe. I'm back to stay
You're sure wearing fine pretty things.
But where is your ring, your ring and chain
I gave you last summer in the fallin' rain?

'Your ring,' she said, 'You've been gone so long.
I gave your ring away
I met a man, a gamblin' man.
Said he would buy me the Milky Way.'

Away, Away. I've been away.
I've been so many miles.
Where is the smile that once lit your face?
It seems a tear has taken is place

'My smile,' she sighed, with a look a little wild,
'My smile it is possessed.
I met a man, a gamblin' man.
Said he would buy me happiness.'

I never, I never
You know I never
I never had much to give
But I gave you my heart
Now where is your heart?
It was all that I had from the very start.

'My heart,' she cried, ' It has been bought.'
She looked at me with fear.
'I married that man, that gamblin' man
Who'd shoot you if he found you here.'
