1
When I was a boy, the moon was a pearl the sun a yellow gold.
2
But when I was a man, the wind blew cold the hills were upside down.
3
But now that I have gone from here there's no place I'd rather be
4
than to float my chances on the tide Back in the good old world.
5
On October's last, I'll fly back home rolling down winding way
6
And all I've got's a pocket full of flowers from my grave
7
But now summer is gone I remember it best
8
Back in the good old world I remember when, she held my hand
9
and we walked home alone in the rain how pretty her mouth, how soft her hair
10
nothing can be the same and there's a rose upon her breast
11
where I long to lay my head and her hair was so yellow
12
and the wine was so red Back in the good old world.
