Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna leave you leave you leave you
I'm gonna leave you leave you
All day long
I'm going to south virginia
Where the living much easier
While though I love ya
No I was a fool when
I gave my love to you
Just for that
I really really really hate you
I never never never
No I never never
No I never never never
Give my love to you again
