    I remember very we, on one dark and dreary day, 
                                                A                 D 
    just as I was leaving ho, for a distant land to roam. 

           D 
Mother said (mother said),  dear boy (my dear boy), 
                                         A 
I hope to see you next year again.

Fare you well (fare you well), fare you well (fare you well) !" 
                                           A               D 
So I left my dear old ho for a distant land to roam.

             D 
    Now I wandered far aw, from my home I've gone astray. 
                                                         A                 D 
    now I'm coming, coming ho, never more from thee to roam.

                   D 
    And these words she said to m, as she took me by the hand,
