Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 29
MY LOVE IS FAIR COLUMBIA.
Copyright, 1889, by Heinrich Conried.
Adapted from the German by Heinrich Couried.
I've travelled in strange lands and foreign clime,
My heart was true to my love all the time;
You think that my love is a maiden fair,
With bright, blue eyes And curly, golden hairÂYou're wrong, you're wrong-confidentially,
Maid my love can never be;
My love is fair Columbia, Columbia, I say.
My love is my America, three cheers, three cheers, hooray!
Chorus.
My love is my Columbia, Columbia, I say.
My love is my America, three cheers, three cheers, hooray!
In this wide world you can search everywhere-,
No love like mine can be found, none so rare;
Apostle of freedom, progress and art-
America, my land, pride of my heart.
Land of freemen staunch and true,
Long wave the red, white and blue.
My lose is fair Columbia, Columbia, I say.
My love is my America, three cheers, three cheers, hooray!-Chorus.
