LR72 I've come for good reason Because you and I were friends Went everywhere without trouble But it was God's will This morning people should Say that you were dead But we were famous and used to walk together
And all men knew it Then God came to take you. So I said to myself I would bring that glass of beer. Thus we used to do For everyone to see. So I brought along this beer to give you, to drink
Have a good journey And may nothing trouble you. And this clock, Take it If you want to go anywhere, The clock always rings at dawn, And you will get up too Every man who sets off takes a clock with him.
And when you reach your house, Greet all your people warmly. Go ahead strong now And I will follow you Whether somebody killed you Because you and I were friends That made people angry; I will never understand
And these twenty dollars I throw to the fish So you can cross the River Take this arrow and shoot the witch. Take it along with you For defense or revenge And as for the beer, And the clock,
If there is anyone Who will be to me as near Let him take the clock, the arrow and the beer But if there's no one, Let me drink and weep, And see that a friendship was here
