My father heard an axe one day
Across the valley wide and deep
He woke me from my bed
It was a warm and peaceful sleep
Saying we must leave my son
I've heard there still is room
In the land of milk and honey
Where the dogwood blossoms bloom
We loaded up our wagons
Every cow and every hen
Down the new cut road
Where Captain Boone led his gallant men
Past the gap beyond the white rocks
By the pale and waxing moon
To the land of milk and honey
Where the dogwood blossoms bloom
We built our cabin in the springtime
And there came a bitter chill
Till the frost took all our corn
And the land was deathly still
We plente by the sights
But winter came too soon
To the land of milk and honey
Where the dogwood blossoms bloom
My mother bade me go up in the hollow
For to fetch a load of wood
When I returned an awful sight
Froze me where I stood
Flames reaching up to heaven
Our cabin they consumed
There in the land of milk and honey
Where the dogwood blossoms bloom
In the valley of the morning
Double low and haunting sound
There I leave my dearest father
In the dark and frozen ground
Near the precious one who raised me
Like a baby from the womb
In the land of milk and honey
Where the dogwood blossoms bloom
Fare thee well my friends now
I must quickly pack my things and go
For my time spent in this valley
I have naught to show
Someday Lord I pray
This road may take me soon
Far from the land of milk and honey
Where the dogwood blossoms bloom
