Because it gets me down, oh, how it gets me down.
I must be free.
My Mama use to say: I'd end my days down on my knees.
Yes, that's what she believes, cause I do as I pleased.
So, Jerusalem goodbye, you're the covet city from the sky.
But today I walk away again, Jerusalem.
Oh, Jerusalem goodbye, I will love you till the day I die.
But today I must be on my way, Jerusalem.
Oh ho, ho...
Pack upon my back the road to home trailing behind me.
I love this dusty road, oh, I love this dusty road.
It means I'm free.
I hate my mother cry to say goodbye, sorrows arouse her.
But that's just sorrow begun tomorrow.
So, Jerusalem goodbye, you're the covet city from the sky.
But today I walk away again, Jerusalem.
Oh, Jerusalem goodbye, I will love you till the day I die.
But today I must be on my way, Jerusalem.
Oh ho, ho...
So, Jerusalem goodbye, you're the covet city from the sky.
But today I walk away again, Jerusalem.
Oh, Jerusalem goodbye, I will love you till the day I die...
I be on my way I just can't stay in this old town, Because it gets me down, oh, how it gets me down. I must be free. My Mama use to say: I'd end my days down on my knees. Yes, that's what she believes, cause I do as I pleased. So, Jerusalem goodbye, you're the covet city from the sky. But today I walk away again, Jerusalem. Oh, Jerusalem goodbye, I will love you till the day I die. But today I must be on my way, Jerusalem. Oh ho, ho... Pack upon my back the road to home trailing behind me. I love this dusty road, oh, I love this dusty road. It means I'm free. I hate my mother cry to say goodbye, sorrows arouse her. But that's just sorrow begun tomorrow. So, Jerusalem goodbye, you're the covet city from the sky. But today I walk away again, Jerusalem. Oh, Jerusalem goodbye, I will love you till the day I die. But today I must be on my way, Jerusalem. Oh ho, ho... So, Jerusalem goodbye, you're the covet city from the sky. But today I walk away again, Jerusalem. Oh, Jerusalem goodbye, I will love you till the day I die... Explain Request ×
