A traditional folk song, where a child is steadfast in his/her faith and resolve against the false knight, who is the devil in disguise.
Originally a ballad written by Scottish poet William Motherwell (1797-1835) in his work entitled Minstrelsy: Ancient and Modern, the earliest available recording...
Where you go so late said the knight on the road
I'm going to meet my god said the child as he stood
And he stood and he stood and it was well that he stood
I'm going to meet my god said the child as he stood
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
And he stood and he stood and it was well that he stood
With a strong staff in my hand said the child as he stood
Oh oh oh oh...
How will you go by sea said the knight on the road
With a good boat underneath said the child as he stood
And he stood and he stood and it was well that he stood
With a good boat underneath said the child as he stood
I think I hear a bell said the knight on the road
It's ringing you to hell said the child as he stood
And he stood and he stood and it was well that he stood
It's ringing you to hell said the child as he stood
Where you go so late said the knight on the road
I'm going to meet my god said the child as he stood
And he stood and he stood and it was well that he stood
I'm going to meet my god said the child as he stood
Oh oh oh oh...
