Way Over Yonder (Live From Central Park, New York City, May 26, 1973) Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
"There's a song about another place which some say is in New Jersey... others say is in Brooklyn... others say is in Queens!
Shall we try the Bronx?... Staten Island?... and any place else!
Now, that's a cheap way to get a hand!"

[Verse 1]
Way over yonder
Is a place that I know
Where I can find shelter
From a-hunger and cold

[Chorus]
And the sweet tastin' good life
Is easily found
Way over yonder
That's where I'm bound

[Verse 2]
I know, when I get there
The first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden
Shining right down on me

[Verse 3]
Then troublе's gonna lose me
Worry leavе me behind
And I'll stand up proudly
In true peace of mind
Talking 'bout a, talking 'bout a
[Verse 4]
Way over yonder
Is a place I have seen
In a garden of wisdom
From some long ago dream

[Verse 5]
Maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs
In rivers each day

[Chorus]
And the sweet tastin' good life
Is so easily found
Way over yonder
That's where I'm bound

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh
Oh, way over yonder, alright
That's where I'm bound
"Thank you"
