My Darlin' Hometown Lyrics - Fair And Square - John Prine

Far away over the sea 

There's a river that's calling to me 

That river she runs all around 

The place that I call my hometown 

There's a valley on the side of the hill 

And flowers on an old windowsill 

A familiar old picture it seems 

And I'll go there tonight in my dreams 

Where it's green in the summer 

And gold in the fall 

Her eyes are as blue 

As the sky I recall

Far away over the sea 

There's a place at the table for me 

Where laughter and music abound 

Just waiting there in my hometown 

The river she freezes 

When there's snow on the ground 

And the children can slide 

To the far side of town 

Far away far away me 

Hung up on a sweet memory 

I'm lost and I wish I were found 

In the arms of my darlin' hometown 

With the evening sun sittin' 

On the top of the hill 

And the mockingbird answering 

The old chapel bell

Far away over the sea 

My heart is longing to be 

And I wish I could lay myself down 

In the arms of my darlin' hometown
