1. Got to go, got to go,
Got to leave this town,
Leave this town
And you, my dear, stay here.
When I'm back, when I'm back
When I'm back again, back again,
On your doorstep I'll appear.
|: Tho' I can't be with you all the time
   My thoughts are with you, my dear
   When I'm back, when I'm back
   When I'm back again, back again,
   On your doorstep I'll appear. :|

2. Don't you cry, don't you cry,
'cause I've got to go,
Got to go,
As if our love was now gone.
Tho' out there, tho' out there
Are so many girls, many girls,
I'll stay true to you alone.
|: Don't think when I see another girl
   My love for you, it will be gone.
   Tho' out there, tho' out there
   Are so many girls, many girls,
   I'll stay true to you alone. :|

3. In a year, in a year,
With grapes ripe on the vine,
Ripe on the vine,
Then, again it's here I'll be.
If by then, if by then,
I am still your beau, still your beau
We will wed, my bride you'll be.
|: In a year my time, it will be done
   And then it is your's I will be.
   If by then, if by then,
   I am still your beau, still your beau,
   We will wed, my bride you'll be. :|
