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
