YorkshireYankee Lyr Req/Add: Land of Oden (Travis Wommack) (22) RE: Lyr Req/Add: Land of Oden (Travis Wommack) 10 Jul 13


Remembered (very clearly - even though I am more than 50 years old!) from my days in Girl Scout Camp (during the 60s):

In the land of Oden, there stands a mountain
Ten thousand miles in the air;
This mountain measures, from edge to edge
Ten thousand miles square.

Once every million years,
A little bird comes winging
Sharpens his beak
And then quickly disappears...
And quickly disappears.

And when this mountain, is worn away,
Time to eternity will be one single day...
Will be one single day.

In the land of Oden, there stands a mountain
Ten thousand miles in the air...


What fascinates me is that there must be a fair number of tunes to go with all these versions, 'cos when I try to use the tune I know for many of the versions above, the words simply don't scan (though sometimes they almost do...).
