Im Going Away To Wear You Off My Mind Paramount 12019 by Alberta Hunter Lyrics

[Verse]
I'm feeling sad and lonely
And there's a reason why
Because I've been mistreated
I wish that I could die
All you've ever brought to me was sorrow
That's why I'm leaving here tomorrow
I'll tell the world, I've sang my last goodbye

[Chorus]
Lord, I'm going away just to wear you off my mind
I'm going away, and I'll be gone for a long, long time
'Cause I'm tired of grieving and make-believing
Over someone whose heart's just like iron
Lord, I'm going away just to see if I can find
A real sweet man that will treat me nice and kind
I'm going north or south, anywhere
East or west, I don't care
I'm going away just to wear you off my mind

[Chorus]
I said I'm going away just to wear you off my mind
I'm going away and I'll be gone for a long, long time
'Cause I'm tired of grieving and make-believing
Over someone whose heart's just like iron
Lord, I'm going away just to see if I can find
A real sweet man that will treat me nice and kind
I'm going away and it won't be long
If you don't believe I'm going, just count the days I'm gone
I'm going away just to wear you off my mind
