Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
If you are worried with your business cares
And everything seems to go wrong
If you are troubled with family affairs
And life seems to you no sweet song
I know a land that is happy and gay
Where sweet music softly they hum
A place where they’ll drive all your troubles away
I will take you there if you will come
CHORUS
Come to the land of Bohemia
Come where the lights brightly shine
Come where that fellow makes love to his cello
O, come where all good fellows dine
Come where the girlies are fairer
Over the Wurzburger foam
Come to the land of Bohemia
The land where nobody goes home
2. Now, in Bohemia, there should you abide
You’ll find it a great place to dwell
Not only Bohemians alone there reside
There’s Irish and Germans as well
Crowds of good fellows, and each one all right
You’ll know by the clasp of their hand
Why I’d rather be in Bohemia tonight
Than be anywhere else in this land
