These fleeting charms of Earth
Farewell,your springs of Joy are dry;
My soul now seeks another home
A brighter world on high.
I'm a long time travellin' here below
I'm a long time travellin' away from home.
I'm a long time travellin' here below
To lay this body down.
Farewell kind friends whose tender care
Has long engaged my love.
Your fond embrace I now exchange
For better friends above.
I'm a long time travellin' here below
I'm a long time travellin' away from home.
I'm a long time travellin' here below
To lay this body down.
I'm a long time travellin' here below
I'm a long time travellin' away from home.
I'm a long time travellin' here below
To lay this body down.
To lay this body down.
