Well, it's a mere pop song, not a folk song, but here goes:

BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON
copyright 1930, Famous Music Corp., (renewed 1957)

Words, Leo Robin
Music, Richard A. Whiting and W. Franke Harling

Beyond the Blue Horizon,
Waits a beautiful day
Goodbye to things that bore me,
Joy is waiting for me.
I see a new horizon,
My life has only begun;
Beyond the Blue Horizon
Lies a setting sun.


How come our parents could get by so well with these one-verse songs? Those folk songs with all the verses are real killers to memorize, especially at my age....
