The show is over, and we must all go home
Just leave me by myself, I'll be alright here on my own
Oh, but I miss you, now you're gone

That's why I be leaving town
That's why I be leaving town

Now I realize, that I've made my mistake
Will you still allow me to apologize for the fool of myself I make?
Oh, you must've took all you can take

That's why I be leaving town
I got to go...
It's all over, it's all over

And when they bring that final curtain down
You know darling, you know, I won't be around
Oh, I don't want to bring you down

That's when I be leaving town
That's when I be leaving

I want to make you mine fraulein
But I ain't got no time
Your Romeo has got to go....leaving town
Hey true love, I got to go....
My Colleen, I've got to leave this land of free, I got to go...
The lover knows it's over
