HAVE you ever been down to my countree	A
Where the trees are green and tall	B
The days are long and the heavens are high	C
But the people there are small	B
There is no work there it is always play	D
The sun is sweet in the morn	E
But a thousand dark things walk at night	F
In the land where I was born	E
	-
Have you ever been down to my countree	A
Where the birds made happy Spring	G
The parrots screamed from the honey trees	H
And the jays hopped chattering	G
Strange were the ways of the water birds	I
In the brown swamps night and morn	E
I knew the roads they had in the reeds	J
In the land where I was born	E
	-
Have you ever been down to my countree	A
Have you ridden the horses there	A
They had silver manes and we made them prance	K
And plunge and gallop and rear	A
We were knights of the olden time	L
When the old chain mail was worn	E
The swords would flash and the helmets crash	M
In the land where I was born	E
	-
Have you ever been down to my countree	A
It was full of smiling queens	N
They had flaxen hair they were white and fair	A
But they never reached their teens	N
Their shoes were small and their dreams were tall	B
Wonderful frocks were worn	E
But the queens all strayed from the place we played	O
In the land where I was born	E
	-
I know you have been to my countree	A
Though I never saw you there	A
I know you have loved all things I have loved	P
Flowery sweet and fair	A
The days were long it was always play	D
But we we were tired and worn	E
They could not welcome us back again	Q
To the land where I was born	E
