Track 4 on Kelly Oliver's debut album, This Land

lyrics

'Father dear, hear what I've to say.
I've found my love, he's in Amerikay.
I'll leave our home, I will travel to him,
for I know I would die to be with him.'

'No! Oh no no no,
no girl of mine will cross the sea
for this young boy's glee.
He'd have you follow him but no,
a father's love can see beyond a young girl's dream.
Daughter, you'll take heed.'

'But Father dear, I'm to marry him.
He'll give me a ring when I go to him.
He's honest and true, well that's what he tells,
he says I must be true to him as well.'

'No! Oh no no no,
no girl of mine will cross the sea
for this young boy's glee.
He'd have you follow him but no,
a father's love can see beyond a young girl's dream.
Daughter, you'll take heed.'

'Father dear, my heart will break.
My true love overseas I will not foresake.
I'll die of grief if you keep me here,
oh do you wish to kill me, father dear?'

'Daughter dear, your love was banished from town.
He shamed the girls and he stole from all around.
He only wants a wife to keep him from the cells.
These boys are not as true as they might tell.'

'No! Oh no no no,
no girl of mine will cross the sea
for this young boy's glee.
He'd have you follow him but no,
a father's love can see beyond a young girl's dream.
Daughter, you'll take heed.'
