Representative Text

My father's gone to view that land,
My father's gone to view that land,
My father's gone to view that land,
To wear a starry crown.
Away over yonder,
Away over yonder,
Away over yonder
To wear a starry crown.
Away over yonder,
Away over yonder,
Away over yonder
To wear a starry crown.
