Lyrics A Distant Land to Roam - The Carter Family
I
remember
very
well
On
one
dark
and
dreary
day
Just
as
I
was
leaving
home
For
a
distant
land
to
roam
Mother
said
(mother
said)
My
dear
boy
(my
dear
boy)
I
hope
to
see
you
next
year
again
Fare
you
well
(fare
you
well)
Fare
you
well
(fare
you
well)
So
I
left
my
dear
old
home
For
a
distant
land
to
roam
Now
I've
wandered
far
away
From
my
home
I've
gone
astray
Now
I'm
coming,
coming
home
Never
more
from
thee
to
roam
Mother
said
(mother
said)
My
dear
boy
(my
dear
boy)
I
hope
to
see
you
next
year
again
Fare
you
well
(fare
you
well)
Fare
you
well
(fare
you
well)
So
I
left
my
dear
old
home
For
a
distant
land
to
roam
And
these
words
she
said
to
me
As
she
took
me
by
the
hand
If
on
earth
we
meet
no
more
May
we
meet
at
God's
right
hand
Mother
said
(mother
said)
My
dear
boy
(my
dear
boy)
I
hope
to
see
you
next
year
again
Fare
you
well
(fare
you
well)
Fare
you
well
(fare
you
well)
So
I
left
my
dear
old
home
For
a
distant
land
to
roam
