The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
