he come down from the mountain
he come down walkin slow

he come down from the mountain
to the town below

all the streets were lined with people
a starin, gapin horde

walkin proud he passed amongst them

he come down
he come down
he come down

he come down from the mountain
he come down walkin slow

old folks seein
whatever they did see

little children throwin
flowers at his feet

he come down
he come down
he come down

he come down from the mountain
he come down walkin slow

he come down from the mountain
to the town below

no-one there to meet him
though his footsteps were full and sure

all there were were frightened people
starin from behind each door

he come down
he come down he come down
