As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW, 11th February 1930:

You say that you're going away
You think that I'll be lonely
Just as sad and blue as I can be

I'll say if you're going away
I've just one idea only
Don't think you'll ever get rid of me

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I want you to know I'm following you
Whatever you climb or tumble into
Why, all of the time I'm following you

The battle won't be half so hard
If you've someone to share it
I'll gladly carry half the load
What's more, grin and bear it

You're part of my heart
You know that it's true
Whenever you start
I'm following you

(Instrumental Break)

I can't forget the day you swore
By all the stars above you
That I was yours and you were mine
You said you'd always love me

You're part of my heart
You know that it's true
Whenever you start, whatever you do
I'm following you
