And I will go to China
And I will go on shinin'
And I would go on Chinese
And I would go on shining
And the Atlantic Ocean
or
And the Land of Goshen
And the land and the ocean
Goodbye Larry, goodbye Jim
Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane
Goodbye mailman, goodbye freight
Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane
Goodbye marriage, goodbye dates
Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane
Goodbye stagecoach
Goodbye stranger
Goodbye, baby
or
Goodbye, Sarah.
Goodbye, stranger.
Grizzly Adams meat again
Will we ever meet again
Hope you find your pair of dice
Hope you find your paradise
In the Land Of Goshen,
Far away
It's the life I've chosen
Every day
In the land and the ocean
Far away
It's the life I've chosen
Every day
Now something new and something old
Now some they do and some they don't.
Ooh, my baby
Goodbye stranger
Something new and something old
Something you just can't tell
Something will and something well
And something as just as well.
Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well.
Tried to see your porno view.
Tried to see your point of view.
Was it early morning yesterday?
