Goin´across the sea

I´m goin´across the sea

I´m goin´across the line

I´m goin´across the ocean

Gonna see that gal of mine

Chorus:

Won´t you come and go?

Come right off and go

Leave this word of sorrow

and troubles here below.

Like my momma told me

It has come to pass

Drinkin´and a-gamblin´

gonna be my ruin at last.

[ Chorus ]

I rambled through Kentucky

I gambled all through Spain

I´m headin´back to Virginia

to gamble my last game.

[ Chorus ]

I wish I had a nickel

I wish I had a dime

I wish I had a sweet little girl

to press and call her mine.

[ Chorus ]

I´m goin´across the sea

I´m goin´across the line

I´m goin´across the ocean

gonna see that gal of mine
