Liedtext: | Ching-a-ring-a ring ching ching, Hoa dinga ding kum larkee, Ching-a-ring-a ring ching ching, Hoa ding kum larkee. Brothers gather round, Listen to this story, 'Bout the promised land, An' the promised glory. You don' need to fear, If you have no money, You don' need none there, To buy you milk and honey. There you'll ride in style, Coach with four white horses, There the evenin' meal, Has one two three four courses. Nights we all will dance To the harp and fiiddle, Waltz and jig and prance, "Cast off down the middle!" When the mornin' come, All in grand and spendour, Stand out in the sun, And hear the holy thunder. Brothers hear me out, The promised land's a-comin' Dance and sing and shout, I hear them harps a strummin'. |
