Harry Belafonte The Far Side Of The Hill Lyrics

The Far Side Of The Hill Lyrics

Lyrics:



Guess I was born for roaming

And roam I always
will

Oh I wonder if it's greener

On the far side of the hill



Oh please come look down yonder

Just earth and green and sky

I know I could get on down there

In the pattern of an eye

And
further west's an ocean

A miner told me so,

And the sun it shines
so brightly

Well it scares off winter snow



And yes sometimes
I'm tiered

Sometimes I'm lonesome too

Sometimes I see a farmer

Walking slow when day is through

And I know he's got a woman

waiting supper everyday

If I have me such a woman

I could drive
my blues away



I wished I knew the reason

God does the way he
does

And why he keeps me moving

from a dream that never even was
