Lyrics Far Away Blues - Bessie Smith
We
left
our
southern
homes
(I
say,
our
southern
homes)
And
wandered
north
to
roam
(I
say,
north
to
roam)
Like
birds,
went
seekin',
(seekin')
a
brand
new
field
of
corn
(field
of
corn)
We
don't
know
why
we
are
here,
(we
don't
know
why
we
are
here)
But
we're
up
here
just
the
same
(just
the
same)
And
we
are
just
the
lonesomest
Girls
that's
ever
born
Some
of
these
days,
(some
of
these
days)
we
are
going
far
away,
(I
say,
far
away)
Some
of
these
days,
(some
of
these
days)
we
are
going
far
away,
(I
say,
far
away)
Where
we
have
got
a
lot
of
friends
And
don't
have
no
roof
rent
to
pay
Oh,
there'll
come
a
day,
(there'll
come
a
day)
when
from
us
you'll
hear
no
news,
(I
say,
you'll
hear
no
news)
Oh,
there'll
come
a
day,
(there'll
come
a
day)
when
from
us
you'll
hear
no
news,
(I
say,
you'll
hear
no
news)
Then
you
will
know,
(you
will
know)
that
we,
(that
we)
have
died,
(have
died)
from
Those
lonesome
far
away
