Five-eo

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: David Nelson

A new New Riders song, introduced in 2009 (I'm not quite sure how you spell "Five-eo" - looks like it may be "Fivio").

Over the hills, to Five-eo
Follow my feet wherever they go
Hay foot, straw foot, heel and toe
Down the road to Five-eo

Five more miles to Five-eo
Sky above, the clouds below
The stars, the stars by twilight glow
Light my way to Five-eo

One, two, three, four, Five-eo
Where I set out from long ago
Won't you let my true love know
I'm on the road to Five-eo

Four more miles to Five-eo
Mine is a story often told
Go and come, we come and go
As ever it was, it shall be so

Three more miles to Five-eo
Where I set out from long ago
And nothing left for me to do
Now I'm heading home to you

One, two, three, four, Five-eo
Where I set out from long ago
Won't you let my true love know
I'm on the road to Five-eo

Two more miles to Five-eo
Love was the reason I had to go
Love is the reason I come home
Never more away to roam

One more mile to Five-eo
At my back the winds do blow
Music plays both soft and low
The tune is strange, the words I know

One, two, three, four, Five-eo
Where I set out from long ago
Won't you let my true love know
I'm on the road to Five-eo
