Lyrics
At seventeen with plans to roam
I left the place I called my home
In search of fame and fortunes hand in lands anew
But though I travelled far and wide
Fortunes hand was well disguised
Soon came the longing for the green of Englands shore
I know my mind will not refrain,
Perhaps the drink is playing games
Perhaps my sentiments are feigned I cannot say
Oh they claim this land is free
But it can ne'er replace for me
The scented air that I'll find there on Englands shore
So fare thee well the land I love
I'll be returning soon enough
When autumns chill turns greens to gold
On Englands shore.
