A Distant Land to Roam Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember very well
On one dark and dreary day
Just as I was leaving home
For a distant land to roam

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Now I've wandered far away
From my home I've gone astray
Now I'm coming, coming home
Never more from thee to roam

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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]
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
