He's leaving here this morning
   And he won't know where he's been 
   There's a lot of talk about the place 
   He won't be back again

*  Yeah, he's leaving here this morning
   (Theres) A smile upon my face
   I'm beginning to think there's hope 
   For the pointed race

   He's leaving here this morning
   And he won't know where he's been
   I'm goin' home to take my bath 
   And I'll be back again
   Yeah, he's leaving here this mornin'
   My eyes are opened wide 
   I'm awfully glad he's gonna take a ride

   Bye bye
   His eyes are gettin' heavy
   And his knees are gettin' weak
   His mouth's so dry it hurts his throat 
   When he begins to speak 

( * Repeat 2 times) 

   I'm beginning to think there's hope 
   For the pointed race
   I'm beginning to think there's hope
   For the pointed race
