"Oh, what brings you here so late?" said the knight on the road.
"I go to meet my God," said the child as he stood.
And he stood and he stood,
And it's well that he stood.
"I go to meet my God," said the child as he stood.

"Oh, how will you go by land?" said the knight on the road.
"With a strong staff in my hand," said the child as he stood.
And he stood and he stood,
And it's well that he stood.
"With a strong staff in my hand," said the child as he stood.

"Oh, how will you go by sea?" said the knight on the road.
"With a good boat under me," said the child as he stood.
And he stood and he stood,
And it's well that he stood.
"With a good boat under me," said the child as he stood.

"Oh, me thinks I hear a bell." said the knight on the road.
"It's ringing you to hell," said the child as he stood.
And he stood and he stood,
And it's well that he stood.
"It's ringing you to hell," said the child as he stood.
