My Darlin' Hometown lyrics

Far away over the sea

There's a river that's calling to me

That river she runs all around

The place that I call my hometown

There's a valley on the side of the hill

And flowers on an old windowsill

A familiar old picture it seems

And I'll go there tonight in my dreams

Where it's green in the summer

And gold in the fall

Her eyes are as blue

As the sky I recall

Far away over the sea

There's a place at the table for me

Where laughter and music abound

Just waiting there in my hometown

The river she freezes

When there's snow on the ground

And the children can slide

To the far side of town

Far away far away me

Hung up on a sweet memory

I'm lost and I wish I were found

In the arms of my darlin' hometown

With the evening sun sittin'

On the top of the hill

And the mockingbird answering

The old chapel bell

Far away over the sea

My heart is longing to be

And I wish I could lay myself down

In the arms of my darlin' hometown
