Tell the truth

Goodbye
So long
Lord knows that you done wrong
I'm gonna leave you, baby
Far away from home

Go along
Sail on
Get back where you belong
Down in New Ibery
Far away from home

Why don't you tell the truth?
You didn't wanna see it through
Why don't you tell the truth?
Baby, I ain't lying
Well, I ain't lying

So long, thieving woman
Take back all your charms
You gotta take it, baby
Far away from home

Well, well, there's no pity to be found now
When you're going downtown and you're screwing around, yeah
You brought this on yourself, baby
So don't you come back crying now

So goodbye, little thief
Don't you bring me back no grief
You gotta leave it, baby
Far away from home
You gotta leave it, baby
Far away from home

Why don't you tell the truth?
You didn't wanna see it through
Why don't you tell the truth?
Baby, I ain't lying
Well, I ain't lying to you, woman
