When I sail back home to you 
I know exactly just what to do 
And when I take these winds to home 
I know I won't be alone 
When I hang my trousers dry 
I know it won't just be you and I 

'Cause there'll be ma & pa and grandmama and all the children I have fathered 

You know I have, I have a knack 
For anything that uses my back 
And I will work, will work these fields 

'Cause it's the only thing that's real 

And when I raise, raise my hands up high 
I know it won't just be you and I 

'Cause there'll be sun and snow and a horse Jethro and all the children I have fathered 

And I will learn to cook for you 
It's one thing that I plan to learn to do 
And I will make sweet dandelion wine 
And there'll be no search for time 
Spend all our lives just having lives 
And there'll be no time for any lies 

There's just mares-eat-oats and no more lows and all the children I have fathered 

There'll be ma and pa and grandmama and all the children I have fathered.
