Lyrics

Oh, Dinah you know our love
Is not a fair handshake
I do all the give
And you do all the take

So take these photographs
And your letters too
I've tied them in a bundle
And saved them just for you

You can't take this
With you when you go away
You may leave
But honey, this'll bring you back

You can hear that turtle dove
As he sings from yonder pine
He's mourning for his love
But I won't mourn for mine

She's sailed across the ocean
She's gone across the sea
She can search the whole world over
She won't find a love like me

You can't take this
With you when you go away
You may leave
But honey, this'll bring you back
