from Amazon.com.
I close the door on father's house,
While I was still a boy.
I sailed with Agamemnon
To besiege the walls of Troy.
[Cho:]
Come away with me,
Where the long grass grows.
Come away with me,
Where Missouri flows.
I dreamed of baby Moses,
Adrift upon the Nile
Till Pharaoh's daughter found him,
Sayin' stay with me a while.
[Cho:]
I came down Shenandoah,
With the wood smoke in the trees.
I caught the scent of Balsam,
And it brought me to my knees.
[Cho:]
I sailed beneath Orion
Where the long ships dared to go.
I laid my fire of mesquite wood,
By the creeks of the Navajo.
[Cho:]
Now if God himself is walking out,
Across these sweeping plains,
He brings the racing fires,
And he brings the soothing rains.
[Cho:]
Oh I close the door on father's house,
While I was still a boy.
I Sailed with Agamemnon
To besiege the walls of Troy.
[Cho:]
[Cho:]
