• Mordecai

We’d see him in the distance on the trail along the rim
His silver head against the mountain sky
And Grandma’s face would open up when she saw that it was him
and she’d say Danny grab a chair it’s Mordecai

It seemed to me he brought a country store there on his back
As he laid it all before us on the ground
And I knew he’d finally reach into that ragged old back pack
For the candy that he always brought around

Chorus

He said my Papa was a wandering Jew
And it’s my fate to be one too
I’ll roam these mountain trails until I die
Perhaps one day I’ll see my home
Then he smiled and turned to go
And we all said goodbye to Mordecai

One evening when he stayed with us I saw him at his prayers
As the last light trickled through the cabin door
He stood before the little yellow candle burning there
Softly speaking words I’d never hear before
And I told him how my Grandma said it troubled her mind so
Such a fine man wasn’t washed in the blood of the lamb
He smiled and said tell Grandma if it pleases her to know
That she and I both pray to the God of Abraham

Chorus

It’s been so long now since I’ve left that hillside far behind
For a place I’ve never truly called my home
And more and more these days I see him walking in my mind
Through the misty mountain distance all alone

Chorus
Mordecai was a wandering Jew in my own way I am one too
I hope to make it home before I die
And if I finally find my way I’ll light a candle at his grave
And say one more goodbye to Mordecai
