When I sail back home to you
I know exactly just what to do
And when I take these winds to home
I know I won't be alone
When I hang my trousers dry
I know it won't just be you and I
Cuz there'll be Ma & Pa & Grandmama
And all the children I have fathered
You know I have, I have a knack
For anything that uses my back
And I will work, will work these fields
Cuz it's the only thing, I think, that's real
And when I raise, raise my hands up high
I know it won't just be you and I
Cuz there'll be sun and snow and a horse Jethro
And all the children I have fathered
And I will learn to cook for you
It's one thing that I plan to learn to do
And I will make sweet dandelion wine
And there'll be no search for time
Spend all our lives just having lives
And there'll be no time for any lies
There's just mares-eat-oats
And no more lows
And all the children I have fathered
There'll be Ma & Pa & Grandmama
And all the children I have fathered
