Jump Up Behind Me

[Verse 1]

This land is a lovely green, it reminds me of my own home

Such children I've seldom seen, even in my own home

The sky is so bright and clean, just like my home

Kind people as have ever been, won't you take me back to my own home?

[Chorus]

Jump up behind me, my love, jump up behind me

Old Dan can bear us both, jump up behind me

We follow this road until we reach the sea, jump up behind me

We'll catch the tide and set Dan free, jump up behind me

[Verse 2]

I've been in this world awhile and I've seen a lot of country

Many days and many miles, all various and sundry

I've had my way and I've had my fun and I've had my chance to run free

Burning hot beneath the sun, freezing cold and wintry

[Chorus]

Jump up behind me, my love, jump up behind me

Old Danny can carry us both, jump up behind me

We follow this road untill we reach the sea, jump up behind me

We'll catch the tide and set old Dan free, jump up behind me

[Verse 3]

I know now, only one thing matters in these day

One thing, true love, love and love alone, true love

Came out of a dream last night, thought I was back in my old home

Mom and Dad were both still alive and the babies not yet born, no

Felt like a festival and it felt like a Christmas morning

Felt the darkness fall away even as the world was turning on

I mean even as the world was turning on. La la la la la, la la la la. I say

Jump up behind me, my love, jump up behind me

Follow the road to the western sea
