room, the forest choir The flames have cooled Don't get any higher They've withered, now they've gone But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear And I know what I will do tomorrow When hands have shaken, the kisses flowed Then I will disappear Let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia, you're calling me Now I'm going home But if I should become a stranger

It's driving me half crazy Tonight I'll make my mind up When I see them at the Cili To be a poor man's wife will be A life of washing dishes When a rich man's wife will surely have Great luxury and riches In comfort how I know It wouldn't be too hard to wallow And being poor is not much fun Which one should I follow?

This bleak world alone?
