I remember very well |
|
On one dark and dreary day |
|
Just as I was leaving home |
|
For a distant land to roam |
|
Mother said (mother said) |
|
My dear boy (my dear boy) |
|
I hope I'll 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 |
|
Mother said (mother said) |
|
My dear boy (my dear boy) |
|
I hope I'll 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 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 |
|
Mother said (mother said) |
|
My dear boy (my dear boy) |
|
I hope I'll 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 |
