My lady went away,
My lady went away,
I do my best to stick out my chest and say "ok."

She's walking on the street,
She's walking to the bay,
She's looking at the other men who say "hey, hey, hey, hey".

My lady went away,
My lade went away,
I do my best to stick out my chest and say "ok."

Good morning Mr. Salt,
You're looking on the ball,
The flaggons on the wagon hold the rations for us all.

My lady went away,
My lady went away,
Ahead of us and edifice of Oedipus is plain, an impediment in sediment and clay.

My lady went away,
My lady went away,
I do my best to stick out my chest and say "ok."
