Woh – oh, what I want to know,

is are you kind?

It’s a buck dancer’s choice my friend;
better take my advice.
You know all the rules by now and the fire from ice.
Will you come with me, won’t you come with me?
Woh – oh, what I want to know, will you come with me?

He’s come to take his chil-dren home

It’s the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.
Ain’t no time to hate, barely time to wait,
Woh – oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?

I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar’s Tomb;
I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune
Anybody’s choice, I can hear your voice.
Woh – oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?
