Wake lady wake
The hills are in flood
And the road we must take
Is a river of blood
And the wind in the wires
And your heart like a cup
And I'm down in the war
And you've got to get up

For mercy's sake
Wake lady wake

Dress lady dress
Put on your (jacket/skull-cap) and boots
For the (thief/priest) has confessed
And the chase is afoot
And the hounds are behind
Gunmen around every tree
And if it's all in our minds
Well, where else would it be

I suggest
You dress lady, dress

This is the day, this is the day this is
This is the day, this is, this is the day the day
This is the day
