Lyrics
Follow the fold and stray no more
Stray no more, stray no more
Put down the bottle and we’ll say no more
Follow, follow the fold
Follow the fold and stray no more
Stray no more, stray no more
Tear up your poker deck and play no more
Follow, follow the fold
To the meadow where the sun shines
Out of the darkness and the cold
Follow the fold and stray no more
Stray no more, stray no more
If you’re a sinner and you pray no more
Follow, follow the fold
