Leave the baby in his cart And leave the bread and beer Leave your warm and tender touch And all that you hold dear Hey ho leave your home It’s time to go And leave the baby in his cart Leave the bread and beer… And take me to the mountain Through the mist and failing light Take a staff and lantern Lead us deep into the night Hey ho take to the road Let’s now go And take me to the mountain Through the mist and failing light… Seek him down the deepest well And down across the moor Seek him where the savage cliff clutches to the shore Hey ho seek him high and seek him low
Seek him down the deepest well and down across the moor… We came at length upon the rune That carved into the slate Appeared a mighty fortress that was sealed with golden gates HEY HO can ya let me know is the master home We came upon the fortress sealed with golden gates A blast of fury fills the air A blinding flash of light And as the gate begins to move A giant voice calls in the night Who is there that broke my sleep And who that has no fear And who that dares lead the way before Manannan Mac Lir (Instrumental)
