A Distant Land To Roam

E B E E I remember very well A E On one dark and dreary day E Just as I was leaving home B E For a distant land to roam E Mother said (mother said) E My dear boy (my dear boy) B I hope to see you next year again E Fare you well (fare you well) E Fare you well (fare you well) E So I left my dear old home B E For a distant land to roam E B E E And these words she said to me A E As she took me by the hand E If on earth we meet no more B E May we meet at God’s right hand E Mother said (mother said) E My dear boy (my dear boy) B I hope to see you next year again E Fare you well (fare you well) E Fare you well (fare you well) E So I left my dear old home B E For a distant land to roam E A E B E E Now I wandered far away A E From my home I’ve gone astray E Now I’m coming coming home B E Never more from thee to roam E Mother said (mother said) E My dear boy (my dear boy) B I hope to see you next year again E Fare you well (fare you well) E Fare you well (fare you well) E So I left my dear old home B E For a distant land to roam E Now I’m coming coming home B E Never more from thee to roam
