New England Lyrics - Gipsy Hill - Big D And The Kids Table

[written by Johnathan Richman] 

well, i've already been to Paris, i've already been to Rome 

but what did i do but miss my home? 

oh, New England 

i went out west to Californ' 

but i missed the land where i was born 

i can't help it 

oh, New England 

i've seen old Israel's Arab plains 

it's quite magnificent, but so is Maine 

oh, New England 

[third verse by Big D] 

now if you like Camden in North London 

we got that spirit here in Allston 

now many people ask, "Where you from?" 

with a heartfelt smile, i say, "From Boston" 

oh, new england
