Lyrics for I've Been Away

I've been away so long Wonder where I went wrong Spent my last years in a cell Never ever go away again I've been so sad and lonely Never ever ever gonna go away again It's a waste of time doing time When you dind't commit a crime It wasn't me it was my brother Bill And I'd have to tell never gonna speak to Bill again He's made me sad and lonely Never ever gonna speak to brother Bill again It was no use, they put my brother on the jury He bribed the others 'cause he owns the local brewery They let me out today Brother Bill's gonna pay No one's ever gonna speak to Bill again Never ever gonna speak to Bill again He'll be too cold and bony Never ever gonna go away again Never ever gonna go away again Never ever gonna go away again
