Far Away Places (1949 Single Version / With 1954 Spoken Introduction)

Far away places 
With strange-sounding names
Far away over the sea
Those far away places 
With the strange-sounding names
Are callin' (callin'), callin' (callin') me

Goin' to China or maybe Siam
I want to see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' about
In a book that I took from the shelf

I start getting restless whenever I hear
The whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain

They call me a dreamer, well, maybe I am
But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Those far away places 
With the strange-sounding names
Callin' (callin', callin,' callin')
Callin' me (callin', callin,' callin', callin' me)

I pray for the day when I'll find a way
Those far a way places to see

Those far away places 
With the strange-sounding names
Callin', callin' (callin,' callin', callin' me)
