on the banks of the wabash far away - paul dresser lyrics

Loading...

round my indiana homestead wave the cornfields
in the distance loom the woodlands clear and cool
oftentimes my thoughts revert to scenes of childhood
where i first received my lessons nature’s school
but one thing there is missing in the picture;
without her face it seems so incomplete
i long to see my mother in the doorway
as she stood there years ago her boy to greet

oh, the moonlight’s fair tonight along the wabash;
from the fields there comes the breath of new-mown hay
through the sycamores the candlelights are gleaming
on the banks of the wabash, far away

many years have p-ssed since i strolled by the river
arm in arm, with sweetest mary by my side
it was there i tried to tell her that i loved her;
it was there i begged of her to be my bride
long years have p-ssed since i strolled thro’ the churchyard
she’s sleeping there, my angel, mary dear
i loved her but she thought i didn’t mean it
still i’d give my future were she only here
