Away O'ee

Away O'ee I'll go

When the sun sinks down

And the yellow moon is big and round

Away O'ee, I'll go

Away O'ee.

Away O'ee I'll fly

When the honking geese

Are a-sailing through the frozen sky

Away O'ee I'll fly

Away O'ee.

 

Away O'ee I'll sing

A lilting song for my step is light

And my heart has wing

Away O'ee I'll sing

Away O'ee.

Away O'ee I'll love

The earth, the sea The people, and our God above

Away O'ee I'll love

Away O'ee.

When in my final sleep

I trust my soul

Departs into the heavens deep

For I'll have done my best

Away O'ee!
