(медленный бой)
Dreamed I had a cutting stone
Dreamed I held it all my own
It cut through wire, wood, and bone
(обычный 4/4)
I'll cut you down, my cutting stone
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
Wandering, I chanced upon
A wayward child lost anon
And when he laid across my chest
My cutting stone it did the rest
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
In a valley green and wide
A suitor wept for a dying bride
And when he turned his eyes on me
А cutting stone did set him free
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
(медленный бой)
There upon a mountaintop
I looked down on to what I'd wrought
And when I saw my labors through
(обычный бой)
I cut my cutting stone in two
Cutting stone oh fear me none
Whether wild or whether won
Though I travel far from home
I'll always have my cutting stone
I'll always have my cutting stone
(медленный бой)
I'll cut you down, my cutting stone
