Down my lover, down my child, away my former beings,
Fortyseven times I've been denied the life, I did.
Down my lover, down my child, away your former beings,
Fortyseven times I've been denied.

Down my lover, down my child, away my father, away ma,
Fortune never shined inside the light you pour to me.
Down my body, down my sight, away my former beings,
Fourteen seventeen, I've been denied...

Down my lover, down my child, away my former beings
In fortyseven times I'm told to hand my battles in.
Down my lover, down my child, away your former beings
It's wrong this side, away my child, away outside in laid.

Down my lover, down my child, away my former beings
In fortyseven times I'm told to hand my battles there. 
Down my lover, down my child, away your former beings
It's wrong this side, away my child, away outside in laid.
