A working title for this song back somewhere in the mighty mists of memory mighta been "LadyLiberty&UncleSam."

lyrics

Papa sailed across the water
Comin' to a Promised Land
I come up on it's street corners
Tryin' to get money in my hands

Hard by the banks of the Hudson
Swear to Christ she was waitin' just for me
Took my hand, said, "Come my sweet,
There's lots to do and more to see."

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I love the air in the mountains
And breezes down by the sea
That full moon when she's risin'
Sure does look beautiful to me
I been down to East Texas
Gone all through out the west
Still her sweet lips
Spoke to me the best

Now all our nights were busy
Stayed abed most days till three
I awoke alone that last time
She musta had somethin' to do without me

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I love the air in the mountains
And breezes down by the sea
That full moon when she's risin'
Sure does look beautiful to me
I looked all through Utah
Worked here to New Orleans from the west
Still her sweet lips
Spoke to me the best

Ya go round&round&round
Ya stand up they say, "Hey! Sit down!"
Round&round&round&round my friend
Round&round back again

She went on to London
Headed home to ol' Paris
Yeah, yeah, she just kept on runnin'
I can see her fall to her knees

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I love the air in the mountains
And breezes down by the sea
That full moon when she's risin'
Sure does look beautiful to me
I could walk east across the waters
And come back round from the west
Still her sweet lips
Spoke to me the best

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
