Build my house upon the rock
Oh yes, Lord
The first wind come, he blow him down
Oh yes, Lord
Chorus:
March on, member, bound to go
Been to the ferry, bound to go
Left St. Helena, bound to go
Bid ‘em fare thee well
Build my house on shifting sand
Oh yes, Lord
The first wind come, he blow him down
Oh yes, Lord
I am not like the foolish man
Oh yes, Lord
He build his house upon the sand
Oh yes, Lord
One morning I was walking along
Oh yes, Lord
I saw them berries hanging down
Oh yes, Lord
I pick the berries and I suck the juice
Oh yes, Lord
Sweeter than the honeycomb
Oh yes, Lord
I took them brother two by two
Oh yes, Lord
I took them sister three by three
Oh yes, Lord
