My Darlin' Hometown Lyrics

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 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
Where the evenin' sun settin' on top of the hill
And the mockingbird answerin' the old chapel bell

Far away over the sea
My heart is longing to be
Man I wish I could lay myself down
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
