Far away over the sea 
There's a river that's calling to me 
That river she runs all around 
The place that I call my hometown 
 
There's a valley on the side of the hill 
And flowers on an old windowsill 
A familiar old picture it seems 
And I'll go there tonight in my dreams 
 
Where it's green in the summer 
And gold in the fall 
Her eyes are as blue 
As the sky I recall 
 
Far away over the sea 
There's a place at the table for me 
Where laughter and music abound 
Just waiting there in my hometown 
 
The river she freezes 
When there's snow on the ground 
And the children can slide 
To the far side of town 
 
Far away far away me 
Hung up on a sweet memory 
I'm lost and I wish I were found 
In the arms of my darlin' hometown 
 
With the evening sun sittin' 
On the top of the hill 
And the mockingbird answering 
The old chapel bell 
 
Far away over the sea 
My heart is longing to be 
And I wish I could lay myself down 
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
