Well may the world go, When I'm far away. Well may the skiers turn, The swimmers churn, the lovers burn Peace, may the generals learn When I'm far away. Sweet may the fiddle sound The banjo play the old hoe down Dancers swing round and round When I'm far away. Fresh may the breezes blow Clear may the streams flow Blue above, green below When I'm far away. Pete has it recorded on his "Banks of Marble" album and on "Together" with Arlo Guthrie. The more common version of "Weel May The Keel Row" is already in the DT (search: [keel row]). Pete Seeger was inspired by this song to write the song "Well May the World Go". Spaw |
