Performed by Foster and Allen
Well I've travelled the world, I've heard people say Funny how life has slipped away But I knew that I'd come back someday To the village where I went to school In the corner of a field there's a big old tree It's been growing there before you and me I carved my name for all to see In the village where I went to school I would sit in the class on a winter's morn Sometimes I wished I'd never been born In second-hand clothes that were tattered and torn In the village where I went to school Where are they now, some went over the sea Odd ones came back to the village, like me There's a smell of bread from the baker's shop And the little store where we bought our pop | The coalman's old horse he goes clippity-clop Through the village where I went to school Like many childhood memories Like the time when all the school caught fleas And the orchard where we climbed those trees In the village where I went to school Now I've come back home and I reminisce I look around at the things I missed As the sun comes up I watch it kiss The village where I went to school Like the old village stream, the water flows on Some folks have stayed while others have gone Well I'll look around and I'll find a wife I've had my share of trouble and strife And it's here I'll spend the last years of my life In the village where I went to school. |
