Ferry Me Over Lyrics - Singles - Andy M. Stewart

I was forced to wander because that I was poor 

And to leave the hills of Caledonia seemed more than I could endure 

And when that I was travellin oh what thought came to my mind 

That I had never seen her beauty til she was far behind 

Ferry me over, ferry me there 

To leave the hills of Caledonia, is more than the heart can bear 

When lost in distant days gone bywhere the simple joys I'd know 

The foreign winds cried "Caledonia it's time you were goin home" 

So I will find the tallest ship that's ever faced the foam 

And I will sail to Caledonia for Caledonia's my home 

cho Ferry me over, ferry me there 

To leave the hills of Caledonia, is more than the heart can bear 

By some friend or neighbor's side where the fires of love burn bright 

With songs and stories I'll share my adventurin' until the mornin light 

And should some young man ask of me "Is it brave or wise to roam" 

I'd bid him range the wide world over the better to know his own home 

I was forced to wander because that I was poor 

And to leave the hills of Caledonia seemed more than I could endure 

And when that I was travellin' oh what thought came to my mind 

That I had never seen her beauty til she was far behind
