Songs of the Countryside: V. Sweet Chance, That Led My Steps Abroad
Sweet Chance, that led my steps abroad
Beyond the town where wild flow'rs grow.
A rainbow and a cuckoo, Lord how rich and great the times are now.
How rich and great the times are now.
Know, all ye sheep and cows that keep on staring that I stand so long in grass that's wet from heavy rain.
A rainbow and a cuckoo's song may never come together again; may never come this side the tomb.
A rainbow, and a cuckoo's song, may never come together again.
Beyond the town where wild flow'rs grow.
A rainbow and a cuckoo, Lord how rich and great the times are now.
How rich and great the times are now.
Know, all ye sheep and cows that keep on staring that I stand so long in grass that's wet from heavy rain.
A rainbow and a cuckoo's song may never come together again; may never come this side the tomb.
A rainbow, and a cuckoo's song, may never come together again.
