From the icy cliffs of Iceland I've traveled o'er the land
|
Through the darkness of Greenland to the islands of Japan
|
I've met with many people all kinds of them you see
|
But I'd rather have America my homeland where I'm free
|
|
I've seen the hot Pacific the ocean wide and deep
|
I've been in ol' Korea with its mud up to my knees
|
I've walked the streets of China seen all there is to see
|
But I'd rather have America my homeland where I'm free
|
|
I've sailed the wide Atlantic to France and Germany
|
The beauty there in Paris just didn't mean a thing to me
|
I made my way to England and on to Italy
|
Cause I'd rather have America my homeland where I'm free
|
|
And Iceland have its icy cliffs and forty-five below
|
And Greenland keep its darkness and the freezin' winds that blow
|
Don't put me off in China or Kerea's muddy land
|
Let Paris keep her beauty and the islands of Japan
|
|
I don't want Germany or France or Italy
|
I'd rather have America my homeland where I'm free
|
I'd rather have America my homeland where I'm free
|

I'd Rather Have America
