I go down to the Brandy tree Take my nose and my tail with me All for the world and the wind to see And never come back no more Down the meadowmarsh, deep and wide Tumble the tangle by my side All for the westing wind to run And slide in the summer rain Sun come follow my happy way Wind come walk beside me Moon on the mountain, go with me A wonderous way I know I go down to the windy sea The little gray seal will play with me Slide on the rock and dive in the bay And sleep on the ledge at night But the seal don't try to tell me how To fish in the windy blue Seal been fishin' for a thousand years And he knows that I have, too When the frog goes down to the mud to sleep And the lamprey hides in the boulders deep I take my nose and my tail and go A hundred thousand hills Sun come follow my happy way Wind come walk beside me Moon on the mountain, go with me A wonderous way I know Someday down by the Brandy tree I'll hear the shepherd call for me Call me to leave my happy ways And the shining world I know Sun on the hill, come go with me My days have all been free The pipes come laughin' down the wind And that's the way I go That's the way for me
