歌詞
You needn't expect for sometime yet
To see me coming home, Imogene
No need to frown or think I forgot
Nor turn to your sister, Jane and say
"Oh, how he has changed, since he went away
From his sweet little Imogene"
Oh! You know I promised, when last we met
At the parlor door, Imogene
I'd stay here a year, perhaps, and get
What gold I could with a dozen men
And come back with it all, to you again
My sweet little Imogene
Oh, Dear Imogene
We're Living Fast but it's going by slow
It's heavy to get but it's light to hold
The more I find the further I go
From my sweet little Imogene
The hills they're not all great lumps of gold
As we pictured them, Imogene
Nor do I find as we were told
There's more than enough for everyman
But I'll keep working here as hard as I can
For my sweet little Imogene
Oh, Dear Imogene
We're Living Fast but it's going by slow
It's heavy to get but it's light to hold
The more I find the further I go
From my sweet little Imogene
My hands are so stiff I can scarcely write
This letter to you, Imogene
For I work these days with all my might
Yet I can not tell as the months glide on
How many more years I'll be gone
From my sweet little Imogene
Oh, Dear Imogene
We're Living Fast but it's going by slow
It's heavy to get but it's light to hold
The more I find the further I go
My sweet little Imogene
We're Living Fast but it's going by slow
It's heavy to get but it's light to hold
The more I find the further I go
My dear Imogene
