Ah yee oh koe, yae guh deh
Ah yee oh koe, yae guh deh
The current swings
The water sings
A river rhyme
For light is the burden of labor
When each bends his back with his neighbor
So each for all
We stand or fall
And all for each
Until we reach
The journey's end
Sandy the strong
Sandy the wise
Righter of wrong
Hater of lies
Laughed as he fought
Worked as he played
As he has taught
let it be made
Away you go
Yae guh deh
And make it so
Yae guh deh
Together all
The paddles fall
in tune and time
Ah yee oh koe, yae guh deh
Ah yee oh koe, yae guh deh
The current swings
The water sings
A river rhyme
For light is the burden of labor
When each bends his back with his neighbor
So each for all
We stand or fall
And all for each
Until we reach
The journey's end
Oh
