1
I set out on Monday
2
The night was cold and vast
3
My brother slept
4
I left quite quietly
5
My father raged and raged
6
My mother wept
7
My life was like a river
8
All sucked into the ground
9
And then the hammer came down
10
Lord, the hammer came down
11
Many miles did I roam
12
Through the ice and through the snow
13
My horse died on the seventh day
14
I stumbled into a city
15
Where the people tried to kill me
16
And I ran in shame
17
Then I came upon a river
18
And I laid my saddle down
19
And then the hammer came down
20
Lord, the hammer came down
21
It knocked me to the ground
22
And I said, "Please, please
23
Take me back to my home ground"
24
Lord, the hammer came down
25
Now I've been made weak by visions
26
For many visions did I see
27
All through the night
28
On the seventh hour an angel came
29
With many snakes in all his hands
30
And I fled in fright
31
I pushed off into the river
32
And the waters came around
33
And then the hammer came down
34
Lord, the hammer came down
35
It did not make a sound
36
And I said, "Please, please
37
Take me back to my home ground"
38
Lord, the hammer came down
39
I was stuffed into the river
40
And the waters spelled around
41
And then the hammer came down
42
Lord, the hammer came down
43
It did not make a sound
44
And I said, "Please, please
45
Take me back to my home ground"
46
Lord, the hammer came down
47
It drove me around the ground
48
And I said, "Please, please
49
Take me back to my home town"
50
Lord, the hammer came down
51
And knocked him to the ground
52
And I got down on my knees
53
And I said, "Please, please
54
Take me back to my home town"
55
Lord, the hammer came down
56
It did not make a sound
57
And I said, "Please, please
58
Take me back to my home town"
59
Lord, the hammer came down
