My friends,
How do you do?
Want you listen here a minute

My heart started to jump
an' I began to shout,

All thing unknown where I must tread,
All thing, but the certainty
that is my dread
Many say it ain' no
Heavenly home nowhere,
Up above our heads it just a hole in the air
I looked to the East,
looked to the West,
