FOLLOW MY LEADER

Harry Hemsley


Follow my leader, follow my leader,
Follow my leader, down to the mill,
Follow my leader , follow my leader,
Through the green meadow, and over the hill.
Over the bridge, and along by the stream, with
Never a thought of a stumble, or spill,
Follow my leader, follow my leader,
Follow my leader, down to the mill.

Follow my leader, follow my leader,
Follow my leader, down to the farm,
Follow my leader, follow my leader,
Be sure when you follow, you come to no harm,
Down shady lanes, and through hedges, and ditches,
Careful to cause wandering hens, no alarm.
Passing the hen-coops, barns, and the cow-sheds,
Follow my leader, down to the farm.

Follow my leader, follow my leader,
Follow my leader, down to the sea.
Follow my leader, follow my leader,
Heedless of waves, and the wind blowing free,
Over the rocks, that lay bare in the sunlight,
shouting and laughing in pure childish glee.
Follow my leader, follow my leader,
Follow my leader, down to the sea.
