I Got A Booking

I got a booking with the airlines
Pack up and going to go
I'm gonna leave here by plane, darling
Because railway is much too slow
I'm goin' back to my hometown
Where I'm better known
'Cause you haven't done nothing, darling
But ruin a happy home
Now, when the sun sinks in the hillside
The one you love will be gone
And I know I will be blue darling
But somehow I'll just travel on
Now, would you rather care to kiss me
Or would you prefer to just say goodbye
'Cause I will turn and leave you darling
I don't want to see you cry
