Verso 1: 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. Verso 2: 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.
