A Distant Land To Roam
Just as I was leaving home for a distant land to roam
Mother said (mother said) my dear boy (my dear boy)
I hope to see you next year again
Fare you well
(fare you well)
fare you well
(fare you well)
So I left my dear old home for a distant land to roam
Now I wandered far away from my home I've gone astray
Now I'm coming coming home never more from thee to roam
CHORUS
And these words she said to me as she took me by the hand
If on earth we meet no more may we meet at God's right hand
CHORUS
