Big D and the Kids Table - New England Lyrics

[written by Johnathan Richman]

well, I've already been to Paris, I've already been to Rome
But what did I do but miss my home?
Oh, New England
I went out west to Californ'
But I missed the land where I was born
I can't help it

oh, New England

I've seen old Israel's Arab plains
It's quite magnificent, but so is Maine

oh, New England

[third verse by Big D]

now if you like Camden in North London
We got that spirit here in Allston
Now many people ask, "Where you from?"
With a heartfelt smile, I say, "From Boston"

oh, new england
