The Village Where I Went to School [German translation]

Well, I've travelled the world, I've heard people say:

"Funny how life has slipped away"

But I knew that I'd come back someday

To the village where I went to school

In the corner of a field there's a big oak tree

It's been growing there before you and me

I've carved my name for all to see

In the village where I went to school

I would sit in the class on a winter's morn

Sometimes I'd wish I'd never been born

In second-hand clothes that were tattered and torn

In the village where I went to school

Where are they now, some went over the sea

Odd ones came back to the village like me

There's a smell of bread from the baker's shop

And the little store where we bought our pop

The coalman's old horse, he'd go clippety-clop

Through the village where I went to school

Well, I've many childhood memories

Like the time when all the school caught fleas

And the orchard where we climbed the trees

In the village where I went to school

Now I've come back home and I reminisce

I look around at the things I missed

As the the sun comes up, I watch it kiss

The village where I went to school

Like the old village stream, the water flows on

Some folks have stayed, while others have gone

Well, I'll look around and I'll find a wife

I've had my share of trouble and strife

And it's here I'll spend the last years of my life

In the village where I went to school
