A Distant Land to Roam

from Earthly Trials by Onion Honey

lyrics

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

Now I wandered far away from my home I've gone astray
Now I'm coming coming home never more from thee to roam

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
