Can I Leave You?

Lyrics

Yes, my native land, I love thee,
All thy scenes I love them well,
Friends, connections, happy country,
Can I bid you all farewell?

Chorus:

Can I leave you?
Far in heathen lands to dwell?

Home, thy joys are passing lovely,
Joys no stranger’s heart can tell;
Happy home indeed I love thee;
Can I, can I, say, “Farewell”?

(Chorus)
