Abraham's Daughter |
| Abraham took Isaac’s hand |
| And led him to the lonesome hill |
| While his daughter hid and watched |
| She dared not breathe she was so still |
| Just as the angel cried for the slaughter |
| Abraham’s daughter raised her voice |
| Then the angel asked her what her |
| Name was she said «I have none» |
| Then he asked how can this be |
| My father never gave me one |
| And with his sword up, raised for the slaughter |
| Abraham’s daughter raised her bow |
| How darest you child defy your father |
| You better let young Isaac go |
