I met a man who told me
He knew about hidden gold
So take me there
And show me where
I can stand in the cold
And when I've found the valley
I knew I'd lose my soul
In the main daylight
It was black as night
It was twice as cold
And you know they tried so hard
To change my mind
But I was oh so young
And proud and wild

Green star liner
Carry me to find a shelter from the sea
Forty miles nearer
Twenty miles clearer, what I want to be

But that's the price of fortune
A poor boy has to pay
And I was strong to carry on till judgment day
So if you see a stranger
And you think you hear my step
Just pass me by don't ask why I'm a wanderer yet
