I fished for minnow in that river. I still dream of those days even now Oh, how I miss my old country home. Father and mother―are they doing well? Is everything well with my old friends? When the rain falls, when the wind blows, I stop and recall of my old country home. Some day when I have done what I set out to do, I'll return home one of these days Where the mountains are green, my old country home, Where the waters are clear, my old country home.
