Lyrics:

It was an early morning yesterday

I was up before the dawn

And I really have enjoyed my stay

But I must be moving on

Like a king without a castle

Like a queen without a throne

I'm an early morning lover

And I must be moving on

Now I believe in what you say

Is the undisputed truth

But I have to have things my own way

To keep me in my youth

Like a ship without an anchor

Like a slave without a chain

Just the thought of those sweet ladies

Sends a shiver through my veins

And I will go on shining

Shining like brand new

I'll never look behind me

My troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger it's been nice

Hope you find your paradise

Tried to see your point of view

Hope your dreams will all come true

Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane

Will we ever meet again

Feel no sorrow, feel no shame

Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Sweet devotion (Goodby Mary)

It's not for me (Goodbye Jane)

Just give me motion (Will we ever)

To set me free (Meet again)

In the land and the ocean (Feel no sorrow)

Far away (Feel no shame)

It's the life I've chosen (Come tomorrow)

Every day (Feel no pain)

So goodbye Mary (Goodbye, Mary)

So goodbye Jane (Goodbye, Jane)

Will we ever (Will we ever)

Meet again (Meet again)

Now some they do and some they don't

And some you just can't tell

And some they will and some they won't

With some it's just as well

You can laugh at my behaviour

And that'll never bother me

Say the devil is my saviour

But I don't pay no heed

And I will go on shining

Shining like brand new

I'll never look behind me

My troubles will be few

Goodbye, stranger, it's been nice

Hope you find your paradise

Tried to see your point of view

Hope your dreams will all come true

Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane

Will we ever meet again

Feel no sorrow, feel no shame

Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary)

It's not for me (Goodbye, Jane)

Just give me motion (Will we ever)

To set me free (Meet again)

In the land and the ocean (Feel no sorrow)

Far away (Feel no shame)

It's the life I've chosen (Come tomorrow)

Every day (Feel no pain)

So now I'm leaving (Goodbye, Mary)

Got to go (Goodbye, Jane)

Hit the road (Will we ever)

I'll say it once again (Meet again)

Oh, yes, I'm leaving (Feel so sorrow)

Got to go (Feel no shame)

Got to go (Come tomorrow)

I'm sorry, I must dash (Feel no pain)

Go and believe it

So goodbye Mary (Goodbye, Mary)

So goodbye Jane (Goodbye, Jane)

Will we ever (Will we ever)

Meet again? (Meet again)

I've got to go
