| Do tell, how is
|
| The little pilgrims progress
|
| Does he endeavor to persevere
|
| Close mantled to knives and kisses
|
| Just like when you were here
|
| What little he had
|
| From him it was taken
|
| For in the small things he could not be trusted
|
| Arrowhead, arrowhead
|
| Run motor city rusted
|
| Nailed to the floor by an old time gaze
|
| Who is, who was, who is to come
|
| Given to other lips
|
| Spoken on other tongues
|
| Where are you and where have you been
|
| Hold fast, hold fast 'till he come again
|
| Would it do, would it do any good
|
| To be able to remember
|
| The white of the page, the black of the ink
|
| Thrown overboard lest the whole ship sink
|
| You talk this way as you go walkin'
|
| Weavin' your way through the straw
|
| It comes so slow and leaves so quick
|
| Under grace, yeah, we strike the stricken laws
|
| Who is, who was, who is to come
|
| Given to other lips
|
| Spoken on other tongues
|
| Where are you and where have you been
|
| Hold fast, hold fast 'till he come again |
