Mighty Poplar - A Distant Land to Roam Songtext
von Mighty Poplar

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 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


So I wandered far away
From my home I′ve gone astray
But I'll soon be coming home
Never more from thee 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

And all these words she said to me
As she took me by the hand
If on earth we meet no more
We meet at God′s right hand


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
