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 ride 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 wondrous way I know I go down by the windy sea, call in the seal to play with me Slide on the rock and dive in the bay, sleep on the ledge at night But the seal doesn't try to tell me how to fish in the windy blue Seal's been fishing for a thousand years and he knows that I have too When the frog goes down to the mud to sleep, 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 wondrous way I know Some day 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 laughing down the wind and that's the way I go That's the way for me
