i went down to the dead lake shore to see what i could see
along the breeze came, away my cap went, my head it was set free

(chorus)

and i hear a far away tune come drifting through the gray
it clears a path before my feet, it makes my fingers play

(chorus)

(Chorus:)  come on, come on, soot and storm
                i know the sun will break your arm
                till then my lady and my Lord will keep me warm
