Well, I've wandered 'round
And there's a code I found
Says a gentle manner
And a righteous way
This pair you'll need
If you follow this creed
She'll see you through
Until the judgement day
But there ain't no law
Under tooth and claw
In the nest of vipers
Or the lion's den
You can holler and wail
'Til the echo goes stale
Ain't way nor manner
Gonna save you then
