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

[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
