Come wind come rain we're off again,

Our muddy boots plod down the lane

The snow has snowed now the grass has growed

And it's time that we were on the road.

Hey ho the wind and the rain

The passers by wave their arms and grin

Come wind come rain we're off again

Our muddy boots plod down the lane

The mare is shod the miles untrod

Between us and the 'land of god'..

We're on our way and everyday

Is another ten miles and an armful of hay

Hey ho the wind and the rain

Another ten miles and a bucket of grain.
