Patience and fortitude
Patience and fortitude
And things will come your way

When you have solitude

And things will come your way

With patient fortitude
And rust will spoil the strongest lock
With patient fortitude

And grindstone wears away the knife
With patient fortitude
Same applies to naggin' wife
Have patient fortitude
