Far Away Places - Jo Stafford

Far away places, with strange soundin' names

Far away over the sea.

.

Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names

Are callin', callin' me.

.

Goin' to China or maybe Siam

I wanna see for myself.

.

Those far away places, I’ve been readin' about

In a book that I took from a shelf.

.

I start gettin' restless whenever I hear

The whistle of a train.

.

I pray for the day I can get under way

And look for those castles in Spain!

They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am

But I know that I’m burnin' to see

Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names

Callin'.

.. callin'.

.. me.
