Around 1969 I used to hear a catchy ?reggae song with these lyrics:
I'm gonna tell you goodbye...girl.....
But I don' wanna hear you cry......girl.....
I'm leaving you behind...
But it's just for a time...
It's not my wish..that we should part...
Don't worry girl,...I won't break your heart,
I'm leaving for a faraway land, Oh..
I'm leaving to make life for you and me
Please understand..
