Six men riding at great speed,

Horses wet with foam.

Riding for their homes tonight,
A B7 E
Riding for their homes.

A E B7 E
Six men out of eighty.

"Hush! Hush!" The mother sings,

Seventy-four to mourn and weep,

Seventy-four to mourn.

"Hush! Hush!" The mother sings,

"Dreams will come and find you."
