Hmmm. Looks interesting, Glenn. I found a little bit here (click). Sounds like it might be an old hymn, with some sort of connection to the Freemasons.
The Sons of Levi
Darach MacDonald
The Grand DesignCome all ye craftsmen that do wish
To propagate the grand design;
Come enter into our High Temple
And learn the art that is divine.
For we are the true-born Sons of Levi,
None on earth can with us compare;
We are the root and branch of David,
The bright and glorious Morning Star.
Mudcatter Abby Sale wrote a piece on this a while back in his infamous "Happy" series at rec.music.folk - Click here to see what he says. There's a connection with the Knights of Malta. Watch this thread over the next few days, and you may find all sorts of interesting stuff.
