As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW, February 26th 1927:
Roads are so dusty, dear, days are so long
My feet go rusty, dear, just a-wandering on
All the world's a mockery, weeping willows laugh at me
'Cause I'm such a fool to be longing for you
Where shall I go when I go where I go
Since you have sent me away, I gotta know
What shall I do when I do what I do do
When you just haunt me all day
Oh, tell me, where can I find what I found when first I met you
You were unkind, but I simply can’t forget you
Where shall I go when I go where I go
Since you have sent me away
(Piano Solo)
Where shall I go when I go where I go
When I go where I go
Since you have sent me away
And what shall I do when I do what I do
When I do what I do
When you just haunt me all day
Oh, tell me, where can I find what I found when first I met you
You were unkind, but I simply can’t forget you
Where shall I go when I go where I go
Where I go when I go
Since you have sent me away
Far away from you
That's all!

As recorded by Harry Bidgood & His Broadcasters,
vocal by John Thorne, 8th September 1927:
Where shall I go when I go where I go
Since you have sent me away
What shall I do when I do what I do
When you just haunt me all day
Where can I find what I found when first I met you
You were unkind, but I simply can’t forget you
Where shall I go when I go where I go
Since you have sent me away
