Where the Master's voice so mellow,
As he told us how he'd follow,
If we touched the Waterfall.Chorus.When half-past twelve was sounded,
Along the road we bounded,
The black gates we quickly rounded
And ran without a fall,
Our lunch we soon divested,

Our exiles are returning,
How their hearts with joy are burning,(continues on next page)
