Let us begin where it all began
Fireside flickering flames
Make the shadows dance
Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on We hand it down-o
We tell our tales, we sing our songs
While we have breath left in our lungs
Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on We hand it down-o
We pass it on down
To the young from the old
We feel it deep down in the soul
Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on We hand it down-o
Sometimes truth hides beside the lies
Grist to the mill, fuel to our fire
Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on We hand it down-o
We pass it down, it carries on Oh down we go into folklore
The pen is mightier than the sword
The music of the word is scored
Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on We hand it down-o
Our satellites they span the globe
Lo our stories shall be told
Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on We hand it down-o
For it is said, so it lives on We pass it down, it carries on Oh down we go into folklore
I am a messenger: I speak
With integrity, truth, love and light
For it is said, so it lives on And when we’re gone, we carry on Oh down we go into folklore
