Repeat ON XI ou HAND IT OVER (again)

Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?
Was the water everywhere?
Were you fearful, and long to run away
From the cold clasp of Illinois?
Oh, no

Hand it over (hand it over)
Hand it over (oh)
You're weary, lay him down
You did your time so thank you very much
Hand it over (hand it over)Hand it over (oh)
So now your hopes are all laid
But you hand it all away
But you hand it all away
