myriam gendron, “go away from my window,”
from: ma delire: songs of love, lost and found, 2021
“Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away-way-way from my window and bother me no more
And bother me no more
I’ll send you back your letters
I’ll send you back your ring
But I’ll never forget my own true love as long as songbirds sing
As long as songbirds sing
I’ll go tell all my brothers
Tell all my sisters too
That the reason that my heart is broke is on account of you
Is on account of you
Go on your way, be happy
Go on your way and rest
But remember, dear, you are the one I really did love best
I really did love best
Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away-way-way from my bedside and bother me no more
And bother me no more”
A song originating with the eclectic American folk singer John Jacob Niles. Beautiful instrumental intro and plenty of the lo in lonely that makes it the low it often is. Ms. Gendron hails from Montreal.
