How many miles to Babylon?

Three score miles and ten.

Can I get there by candle-light?

Yes, and back again.

If your feet are speedy and light

You can get there by candle-light.

Where is the road to Babylon?

Right beside your door.

Can I walk that way whenever I want?

No, three times and no more.

If you mark the road and measure it right,

You can get there by candle-light.

How do I go to Babylon?

Outside of here and there.

Am I crossing a bridge or climbing a hill?

Yes, both before you’re there.

If you follow outside of day and night

You can be there by candle-light.

What shall I take to Babylon?

A handful of salt and grain.

Water, some wool for warmth on the way,

And a candle to make the road plain.

If you carry three things and use them right,

You can be there by candle-light.

How hard is the road to Babylon?

As hard as grief or greed.

What do I ask for when I get there?

Only for what you need.

If you travel in need and travel light

You can get there by candle-light.

How long is the road to Babylon?

Three score years and ten.

Many have gone to Babylon

But few come back again.

If your feet are nimble and light

You can be back by candle-light.
