Lyrics

Drum

I beat my drum
Everybody here to come runnin'
Now I beat my drum all the day
All rise, all rise
All rise in the mornin'
Take the good news, carry it away
Take the good news, spirit it away

Farmer shall wear the green of his furrows
Ploughman shall heed his teams through the day
The hunter shall still his dangerous arrow
Take the good news, spirit it away
Take the good news, carry it away

And oh brother, where have you been?
Down at the gate whilin'
Oh my father, what shall I do?
Set 'em straight or no more souls come through

I beat my drum
Everybody here to come runnin'
And I beat my drum all the day
All rise, all rise
All rise in the mornin'
Take the good news, carry it away
Take the good news, spirit it away
