They found a note the man had wrote and this is what it said 'Please take me home and bury me' that filled them all with dread Found his body cold in death and then they sent him home And buried him with long-gone friends with whom he used to roam
And, oh, the men and women's moans did echo through the air Such cries was never heard before from humans in despair The little children cried aloud for mercy to their God But now they all are dead and gone and under earthly sod
