David Song 15 - Round and Round the Mountain
(1 Samuel 24:3-12)

1. Round and round the mountain, David with his men;
Saul's three thousand choice men, chasing after them.
Hiding deeply in a cave — don't make a peep!
Saul came in to cover his feet.

2. David's men said, clobber now your enemy!
Pounce on him before he knows you're here, quickly!
I can't hurt him, but I will secretly
Cut the corner of his coat so sneakily!

Bridge Part One:
Troubled feelings came to David's heart;
He should not have cut that coat apart.
God forbid that I should stretch
My hand against God's anointed, Saul the king!

Bridge, Part Two:
Saul rose up and went out on his way.
David followed him and then did say:
I could have harmed you; you're hunting me,
But let God be the judge in everything!

3. My hand will not be against you e'er again.
Saul said, You're more righteous than I have been,
For you have repaid me with good alway.
May the Lord reward you, David, from this day.


(Can be sung to: Gavotte by F.J. Gossec)
