Journey Cake Ho!

"This wasn't a trip i was planning to make
As I fled through the door with some good journeycake.
But my horse was saddled, so off I did ride
Thankful I still had my head and my hide.

Journeycake ho! Journeycake ho!
Make it and take it wherever you go.
Travel on water, on ice, or on snow,
It will keep you filled up till the morning.
The master was after me, likewise the noose,
I had to go quickly and lightly and loose.
So I grabbed what I could and I let the rest be;
I didn't have much--but at least I had me.

Journeycake ho! Journeycake ho!
Make it and take it wherever you go.
And if you've no money, you'll still have the dough
To keep you filled up in the morning."
