Jefferson Lyrics by Mary Hopkin

Those Were the Days

1971

[Verse 1]
Summer's gone and the leaves are falling
Jefferson, Jefferson
Overhead summer geese are calling
Southward bound flying over my home
[Verse 2]
Distant train makes my thoughts return to
Jefferson, Jefferson
I can hear your name as the wheels are turning
Southward bound going down to my home
[Chorus]
Going down to Jefferson
Many times I've made this trip on my own
Going down to Jefferson
On my constant wings of thought I was borne
[Verse 3]
Autumn's falling as he is rising
Jefferson, Jefferson
Leaves are tumbling down
When I arrive in Jefferson
Home is where I belong
[Bridge]
Ah-ha, ha, ha
Mm-mm, mm-hmm
Mm-mm, mm-hmm
Mm-mm, mm-hmm
Mm-mm, mm-hmm
Mm, mm, mm-hmm
[Chorus]
Going down to Jefferson
Many times I've made this trip on my own
Going down to Jefferson
On my constant wings of thought I was borne
[Verse 4]
Summer's gone and the leaves are falling
Jefferson, Jefferson
Overhead summer geese are calling
Southward bound take me back to my home
[Outro]
