[Verse 1]
"Oh, what brings you here so late?"
Said the knight on the road
"I go to meet my God,"
Said the child as he stood

[Chorus 1]
And he stood, and he stood
And it's well that he stood
"I go to meet my God,"
Said the child as he stood

[Verse 2]
"Oh, how will you go by land?"
Said the knight on the road
"With a strong staff in my hand,"
Said the child as he stood

[Chorus 2]
And he stood, and he stood
And it's well that he stood
"With a strong staff in my hand,"
Said the child as he stood

[Verse 3]
"Oh, how will you go by sea?"
Said the knight on the road
"With a good boat under me,"
Said the child as he stood

[Chorus 3]
And he stood, and he stood
And it's well that he stood
"With a good boat under me,"
Said the child as he stood

[Verse 4]
"Oh, I think I hear a bell,"
Said the knight on the road
"It's ringing you to hell,"
Said the child as he stood
[Chorus 4]
And he stood, and he stood
And it's well that he stood
"It's ringing you to hell,"
Said the child as he stood
