Far Away Places

-charted at #2 in 1949 by both Bing Crosby and Margaret Whiting while competing
-versions also charted at (#4 Perry Como) and (#14 Dinah Shore)
-Words and Music by Alex Kramer and Joan Whitney


Far away places with strange-sounding names
Far away over the sea
Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Are callin', callin' me

Goin' to China or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' about
In a book that I took from the shelf

I start getting restless whenever I hear
The whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain

They call me a dreamer, well, maybe I am
But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Callin', callin' me


By Robin Hood
