Alta's Song

By: Mark Olson & The Creekdippers

Verse 1

I am a babe, an only babe, Fire and water and all, Who in my mother's womb was made, Great Alta take my soul.

Verse 2

But from that mother I was torn, Fire and water and all, And to a hillside I was borne, Great Alta take my soul.

Verse 3

And on that hillside I was laid, Fire and water and all, And taken up all by a maid, Great Alta save my soul.

Verse 4

And one and two and three we rode? Fire and water and all, Till others took the heavy load, Great Alta take my soul.

Verse 5

Let all good women hark to me, Fire and water and all, For fostering shall set thee free, Great Alta save my soul.
