Words and music by Gary Singer
The lyrics to this song were based on the Old Testament story of Naomi and
Ruth, in which Ruth, the daughter-in-law, pledges her fidelity to the
mother of her dead husband.
Whither thou goest, I will go.
Wherever thou lodgest, I will lodge.
Thy people shall be my people, my love.
Whither thou goest, I will go.
For as in that story long ago,
The same sweet love story now is so.
Thy people shall be my people, my love.
Whither thou goest I will go. |
