As I went a walkin' one mornin' in spring

I met with some travelers in an old country lane

One was an old man, the second a maid,

And the third was a young boy who smiled as he said

Chorus:

We've the wind in the willows,

And the birds in the sky,

We've a bright sun to warm us,

Where ever we lie

We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine

To share on our journey with all of mankind

I sat down beside them,

The flowers all around,

And we ate on a mantle spread out on the ground

They told me of prophets and princes and kings

And they spoke of the one god who knows everything

I asked them to tell me their name and their race

So I might remember their kindness and grace

My name is Joseph, this is Mary my wife

And this is our young son, our pride and delight

We travel the whole world, by land and by sea

To tell all the people how they might be free

Like the

Sadly, I left them, in an old country lane

For I knew that I never would see them again

One was an old man, the second a maid

And the third was a young boy who smiled as he said

We've the wind....
