American Mary - How Far To Babylon? Lyrics

Brother, won't you come sit with me, now
I saw your face today, oh boy
Let's forget the world and talk a while
I saw your face today, oh boy

I always thought that you might
Let it all pass you by
We're so very far from home
Maybe one day you might
Put your hand into mine
We don't need to stand alone

I feel the sun come pouring through my veins
I heard the news today, oh boy
I feel its warmth but my heart is cold
I heard the news today, oh boy

I always thought that you might
Let it all pass you by
We're so very far from home
Maybe one day you might
Put your hand into mine
We don't need to stand alone

I always thought I'm just an average guy
I said goodbye today, my boy
I always thought I'm just a regular guy
I said goodbye today, my boy

O King of Cantelon
How far to Babylon
Eight and eight, and another eight
O King of Cantelon
How far to Babylon
Eight and eight, and another eight

O King of Cantelon
How far to Babylon
Eight and eight, and another eight
