text: 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
  Id see her around
  But that Bonnie lass
  And her heart of glass
  Would not hold a candle
  To bumming around
  So dont cry for me
  Cause Im going away
  And Ill be back some lucky day
  Tell the boys back home
  That Im doing just fine
  I left all my troubles and woe
  So sing about me
  For I cant come home
  Ive many more miles to go
  Why, theres Miss Kelsey
  She taught dance at our school
  And old Johnny OToole
  Ill still beat you at pool
  So dont cry for me
  For Im going away
  And Ill 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 sone
  Theres a lot of things in this world
  Youre gonna have no use for
  And when you get blue
  And youve lost all your dreams
  Theres nothin like a campfire
  And a can of beans
  Why, theres Miss Kelsey
  She taught dance at our school
  And old Johnny OToole
  Ill still beat you at pool
  So dont cry for me
  For Im going away
  And Ill be back some lucky day
