Verse 1
Ab
Mother, let us imagine we are traveling and passing
through a strange and dangerous country.
You are riding in a palanquin
and I am trotting by you on a red
horse.
G
Gm
G
It is evening and the sun goes down.
Ab
The waste of Joradike
G
Gb
Ab
lies worn and grey before us.
The land is desolate and barren.
You are frightened and thinking,
I know not where we have come to.
I say to you, Mother,
do not be afraid.
The meadow is prickly with spiky grass,
G
Gm
and through it runs a
Ab
narrow broken path.
Gm
There are no cattle to be seen
in the wide field.
Ab
They have gone to their village stones.
Gm
Ab
It grows dark and dim on the land and sky,
and we cannot tell where
we are going.
Suddenly you called me
and asked me in a whisper,
What light is that near the bank?
Just then there burst out a
fearful yell
and figures come running towards us.
You sit crouched in your pallet cane
and repeat the names
of the gods in prayer.
The bearers, shaking in terror,
hide themselves in
the thorny bush.
I shout to you, Don't be afraid,
Mother, I am here.
With long sticks in their heads
G
and hair all wild about their heads,
Gb
Ab
they come nearer and nearer.
I shout, have a care, you villains,
one step more and you are
dead men.
They give another terrible yell
and rush forward.
You clutch my hand and say, dear boy,
for heaven's sake,
keep away from them.
I say, mother, just you watch me.
Gb
When I spur my horse for a wild gallop,
Ab
and my sword and butler clash against each other,
the fight becomes so fearful, mother,
Gm
that it would give you a cold shudder
Gb
Gm
could you see it from your palanquin.
Ab
Many of them fly,
and a great number are cut to pieces.
Ab
I know you are thinking,
sitting all by yourself,
that your boy must be
dead by this time.
But I come to you all
stained with blood
and say,
Mother, the fight is over now.
You come out and kiss me,
G
pressing me to your heart,
and you say to yourself,
I don't know what I should do
if I hadn't my boy to escort me.
