Friends, I've gotta go
Just gotta toss my keys
'Cause she's been waiting for me since I was born
I leave behind along my way
So many things I liked
It starts with a little sorrow
America, America, I wanna have her and I'll get her
America, America, if it's a dream, I'll know
All the train whistles, all the ship horns
They've sung me the Eldorado song a hundred times
Friends, I say goodbye
I should cry for you a bit
Forgive me if in my eyes
I'll come back, I don't know when
Sewn with gold and embroidered with silver
Or without a dime, but richer than before
America, America, I wanna have her and I'll get her
America, America, if it's a dream, I'll know
All the train whistles, all the ship horns
They've sung me the Eldorado song a hundred times
America, America, I wanna have her and I'll get her
America, America, if it's a dream, I'll know
America, America, if it's a dream, I'll dream
