The fields of green stretch over the hill
Way down to the valley below
Happy people are singing down there
And that's the way I must go
And that's the way I must go

I wandered around all over this land
But now I no longer to roam
The places I've seen don't matter no more
For I am going back home
For I am going back home

I've travelled around
From town to lonely town
But they don't mean a thing to me
For when people start talking
My feet start walking
Back to the town that's in my memory

And when I return to the folks I left behind
Smiling faces I will see
I'll sit and wonder why I ever went away
And there forever I'll be
And there forever I'll be

I've travelled around
From town to lonely town
But they don't mean a thing to me
For when people start talking
My feet start walking
Back to the town that's in my memory

The fields of green stretch over the hill
Way down to the valley below
Happy people are singing down there
And that's the way I must go
And that's the way, that's the way
And that's the way I must go.
