A Hard Man To Follow

I’ve been to the moon
With the Queen of the night
Circled the sun
And maintained my sight
I’ve been to the deep
With the dolphin to play
Beneath the golden bough
With Buddha to pray
And we sang

Fol dol di dee
fol dol di day
All through the night and the
following day

I’ve ridden on the back
Of a magical steed
A dancer reborn
Messiah indeed

Once I did live
In a biblical time
Been to a feast
Seen water turn to wine
And we sang

Fol dol di dee
fol dol di day
All through the night and the
following day

Sure I’m a hard man to follow
A hard man to follow
A hard man to follow, me
A hard man to follow
A hard man to follow
A hard man to follow, me

Fol dol di dee
fol dol di day
All through the night and the
following day
