Up on the hill, down by the river
By the ocean, across the field
By the word of the boognish
I said, "Lordy, Lordy, Lord, I'm comin' home"
When I was younger, my Mama told me
She said, "Gener, I want to smell it."
And then she smelled it and it was smelly
And she said, "Lordy, Lordy Lord, I'm comin' home"
In a dream, said he was coming
Boognish was rising up from the mist
He held the scepter of wealth and power
And said, "By God, I've come to take you home"
