Away!
On the lawn I fell to dreaming
And the dark just whirled around me
All the brighter plans are buried
Drunk now, Virginia's married

Seven dresses bent around me
Seven girls, the maids of honor
And they took the cup I carried
Drunk now, Virginia's married
Seven men went in to hear the band
All laughing, I can't understand
Drunk now, Virginia's married
And they may say that you must stay
But you must make your plans to get away
And you may say that I must stay away!
On the steps I fell to darkness
And her friends came out around me
But I saw the darkness only
Drunk now, I will be lonely
