| [00:00.30] | If I could get the water fowl to follow me |
| [00:05.80] | Straight into the weeds, distribute the seeds |
| [00:12.10] | These are the verses I would sing |
| [00:16.80] | As they cock their heads and waive their wings |
| [00:22.60] | To these oaken birches I would cling |
| [00:27.80] | Till left for dead, hewing and hammering |
| [00:54.45] | On the Kennebec we settled on mugwumpery |
| [00:59.93] | Granite, rye, grist and corn |
| [01:05.10] | And claimed respect with metal, luck and dignity |
| [01:10.80] | Fifty rods and ten are bore |
| [01:16.48] | These are the wishes of the dead |
| [01:21.70] | Raise up your flag, hold up high your head |
| [01:27.50] | Care for the fields that bear your bread |
| [01:32.38] | And net your shad along the river bed |
| [01:59.51] | Sometimes I reach up and pull across the shade |
| [02:05.73] | Oh too beautiful, I can’t concentrate |
| [02:12.00] | Sometimes I can’t seem to hold the cross we made |
| [02:17.25] | Hands are full, hammer and spade |
| [02:22.58] | These are the wishes of the dead |
| [02:27.51] | Raise up your flag, hold up high your head |
| [02:33.19] | Care for the fields that bear your bread |
| [02:38.71] | Net your shad along the river |
