Far Away

Where have all the good girls gone? Was there ever one? They will win you with their eyes Then trap you in their thighs Stay away from love, stay away, boys Far away, far away, far away Far away, far away, far away As the lights of home draw near There’s a black cat at my door And he spoke to me In a manner low and mean She ain’t here, she ain’t here, she ain’t here, oh no Far away, far away, far away Far away, far away, far away Mother and my sisters three Forgive these words I speak For all them pretty, pretty girls With their lips and their curls Have robbed my pride from me, dear mom Far away, far away, far away Far away, far away, far away Where have all the good girls gone? Was there ever one? They will win you with their eyes Then they’ll trap you in their thighs Stay away from love, stay away, boys Far away, far away, far away Far away, far away, far away
