Well may the world go
The world go, the world go
Well may the world go
When I'm far away

Sweet may the breezes blow
Clear may the streams flow
Blue above, green below
When I'm far away

Well may the world go
The world go, the world go
Well may the world go
When I'm far away

Sweet may the fiddle sound
The banjo play the old hoedown
Dancers go round and round
When I'm far away

Well may the world go
The world go, the world go
Well may the world go
When I'm far away

Swift may the skiers turn
The swimmers churn, the lovers burn
Peace, may the nations learn
When I'm far away
Well may the world go
The world go, the world go
Well may the world go
When I'm far away
