Oh where are you going my adventurous young son?

I’ll be out hiking, dear mother,

Oh when will you return my adventurous young son?

I’ll be back in three months dear mother, dear mother.

*

Oh where have you been my fearless young son?

The earth crumbled beneath me dear mother,

Oh will you make it home my fearless young son?

I’m afraid not dear mother, dear mother,

*

Oh how I miss you my courageous young son.

I’ll see you soon dear mother,

Oh will we be together again my courageous young son?

Across the bridge in God’s great kingdom dear mother, dear mother.
