There is no verse
to this song
cause I don't want to wait a moment
too long to say that
I'd love to
get you on a slow.
Go to China.
All to my son.
Get your and keep
in mind.
Seven more.
Leave all your love
labor on a far away show.
All right.
With that moon big
and shiny.
Melt in your
heart of stone.
Honey, I'd love
to get you on a slow
boat to China.
All to myself.
Oh.
Well.
I'd love to get you
on a slow boat to China
all to myself.
I was in the
water and read
the most.
Drifting everything
from the
compass over the railing
on the ocean, far from all
the commotion.
Now, Daniel.
Part of those.
I have to get you on a
scoreboard to charge.
All to myself,
there was no.
Yes, all to myself.
For several months in late 48 and early 49,
it sounded like a travel agency might
be programing your hit parade.
The emphasis definitely was on
faraway places
with strange sounding
name.
Far away.
Others say.
Those faraway places
where the strange sounding
names
are called and.
Go to China.
Oh.
Maybe some.
I want to see
for myself.
Those faraway
places I've
been reading about.
And I broke that
to.
FromUS.
I start getting restless.
Whenever.
So.
Go to.
I pray for the
day.
You can get.
And look for those kind.
Suzan's per.
The Colbert
Report.
Well, maybe I.
But I know that I'm the.
And see.
Those faraway places
with a strange sounding
name.
Called.
Call.
Miss.
If you ever.
Across the sea to Ireland,
then maybe at the close
of your day.
You will watch the moon
rise over, Clodagh.
And watch the barefoot guys
from.
The playing.
Just to hear
again the report of
the drought stricken.
Mowamba.
In the Meadows, Meccan.
And just sit beside her
for.
In the cabin
and see this.
Galway Bay.
The breeze is blowing all
the seas from island.
Are pursued by the heather
of.
And love women.
In the upline dig and
parade, he
speak a language
that the strange.
Not no.
All the strangers came and tried
to teach us there were.
They scorned us just for being.
What we are.
But they might as well go chasing.
After movie.
All right.
Star.
And if there's got.
To be here after.
Hey, to.
There's got to be.
I will ask my God
to let me.
My heavens.
Well, um, uh.
Look.
They are.
Says.
