I'm Goin' To Settle Down Outside Of London Town (When I'm Dry, Dry Dry) Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Joe McCarthy Performer(s): Irving Kaufman
America, I must say I love you You're more than a mother to me And although I must stray, I must go away Still my home you will always be So goodbye, I am leaving you soon I must sail with the last day of June
I'm goin' to settle down, outside of London Town Down in a village by the sea And you will find me there with the country air Where everything is free And when I'm over there My heart will still be here And I hate to say "Goodbye" But I'm a man who must have a little liquor when I'm dry, dry dry
America, you're such a young nation You are just like a big bouncing boy You've been happy and gay, I loved you that way Your freedom the world could enjoy I am sorry to leave you behind I'll come back here when you've changed your mind
I'm goin' to settle down, outside of London Town Down in a village by the sea And you will find me there with the country air Where everything is free And when I'm over there My heart will still be here And I hate to say "Goodbye" But I'm a man who must have a little liquor when I'm dry, dry dry
