De massa’s come back from his tramp;
‘Pears he is broken quite:
He takes de basket to de camp
For rations ebery night.
Dey fought him when he loud and strong,
Dey fed him when he low:
Dey say dey will forgive the wrong,
An’ bid him’pent an’ go.
Praise de Lord! Praise de Lord!
Dey hid him’pent an’ go.
