Lyrics for Long Ago, Far Away

To preach of priest and brotherhood What might be the cost The man he did it long ago And they hung him on a cross Long ago Far away Those things don't happen nowadays The chains of slaves they dragged the grounds With heads and hearts hung low But it was during the Lincoln's time and It was long ago Long ago Far away Things like that don't happen nowadays
