I used to be so lonely - I used to be so blue There was a time I thought I'd never see love shinin' through I could not find a spark of hope - there was darkness in the air Then I found someone now the clouds are gone and I see love everywhere. And I said,"Oh me - oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere" Yeah, I said, "ooh wee" then I sighed, -- "Land o'goshen Love is everywhere" There was a woman that I heard of - they say every night she cried About a love that long ago had withered up and died And then one night she was observed by the full light of the moon With a swing in her hips and a song on her lips and a man Up in her room And she said, "Oh me, oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere" Yeah she said, "Ooh, wee" then she sighed, -- "land o'goshen Love is everywhere" There was a man that lived next to me and I swear that his heart was hard There wasn't no sunshine on his back porch and no flowers in his yard He claimed that he'd looked high and low but love could not be found But it didn't take much - just a woman's touch to turn his world around. And he said, "oh me - oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere" Yeah he said, "Ooh wee" then he signed, -- "land o'goshen Love is everywhere"
