A Song of the Road
O I will walk with you, my lad, whichever way you fare,You'll have me, too, the side o' you, with heart as light as air;No care for where the road you take's a-leadin' anywhere,--It can but be a joyful ja'nt whilst you journey there.The road you take's the path o' love, an' that's the bridth o' two--An' I will walk with you, my lad -- O I will walk with you.
Ho! I will walk with you, my lad,Be weather black or blueOr roadsides frost or dew, my lad --O I will walk with you.
Aye, glad, my lad, I'll walk with you, whatever winds may blow,Or summer blossoms stay our steps, or blinding drifts of snow;The way thay you set face an' foot 's the way that I will go,An' brave I'll be, abreast o' ye, the Saints and Angels know!With loyal hand in loyal hand, an' one heart made o' two,Through summer's gold, or winter's cold, It's I will walk with you.
Sure, I will walk with you, my lad,A love ordains me to,--To Heaven's door, an' through, my lad.O I will walk with you.
