Chorus

 6 6 7 8   9 8    7 7
Dominque, nique, nique

7 7   7    7  -6   -6  -6 -6
Over the land he plods along

  7   7   6   6 7   -7
And sings a little song.

 6 6   7  7   7  -8  7
Never asking for reward

 7  -7   -6   -6-6   6   -5
He just talks about the Lord.

 5  -5    6    5 -4  -4  -4
He just talks about the Lord.

At a time when Johnny Lackland

over England was the king

 5  5 -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  
Dominique was in the backland 

 -4  -4   5  -4   5 -5  6
fighting sin like anything.

Verse 2
Now a heretic, one day
Among the thorns forced him to crawl.
Dominique with just one prayer,
Made him hear the good Lord's call. ->chorus

Verse 3
Without horse or fancy wagon,
He crossed Europe up and down.
Poverty was his companion,
As he walked from town to town. ->chorus

Verse 4
To bring back the straying liars
And the lost sheep to the fold,
He brought forth the Preaching Friars,
Heaven's soldiers, brave and bold. ->chorus

Verse 5
One day, in the budding Order,
There was nothing left to eat.
Suddenly two angels walked in
With a load of bread and meat. ->chorus

Verse 6
Dominique once, in his slumber,
Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over Friars withour number
Preaching all around the world. ->chorus

Verse 7
Grant us now, o Dominique,
The grace of love and simple mirth,
That we all may help to quicken
Godly life and truth on earth. ->chorus
