Far Americay

Intro: I asked what he was thinking but he hadn't much to say The revelry died down now, we'd reached the break of day God knows it's not for glory, son, we just have to make some room Oh, my heart would surely break for you, sweet treasure of my womb With four and twenty shillings, we sent him on his way Now my blood runs through the mountains Of Far Americay From a Rocky Mountain mine camp came a message here tonight He says the mountain gives him hope these days to break the reach of night Says to tell the young ones that he seldom sees the moon But the noise would wake the dead out there, he'll send some money soon There's light down in those tunnels, Oh, it's gonna' be okay My blood slips through the mountains Of Far Americay. From a Rocky Moutain mine camp came a letter here today He says the winds of change are blowin' a little warmer every day That he fell in love with liberty, a girl we all once knew She comes from good people, and he said she loves him too That blood ran down those rivers What a heavy price to pay So far now from the ocean In Far Americay In Far Americay How young love it meanders through Far Americay Repeat many times until fade out
