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, it's 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, it's not for me, just give me motion and set me free (Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane, will we ever meet again?)

In the land and the ocean far away, the life I've chosen every day (Feel no sorrow, feel no shame, come tomorrow, feel no pain)

So, goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane, will we ever meet again? (Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane, will we ever 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 behavior, that'll never bother me

Said the Devil is my savior, 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, it's not for me, just give me motion and set me free (Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane, will we ever meet again?)

In the land and the ocean far away, the life I've chosen every day (Feel no sorrow, feel no shame, come tomorrow, feel no pain)

Now, I'm leaving, got to go, hit the road, I'll say it once again (Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane, will we ever meet again?)

Oh yes, I'm leaving, got to go, got to go, I'm sorry I must tell you (Feel no sorrow, feel no shame, come tomorrow, feel no pain)

Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane, will we ever meet again? (Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane, will we ever meet again?)

Oh, I'm leaving, I've got to go
