Thesong began: For twelve long days weve hiked through mountains, Heigh ho! Cross roaring rivers !For twelve long days weve hiked through mountains, Ha! Ha! While on our way through wild Lepanto! Up at Sagada we came upon the only bed of mint thatany of us had ever seen in the Philippines, and as GeneralBell had almost an inspired knowledge as to what mint wasoriginally intended for, this gave us material for three newverses: One rainy day we reached Sagada, Heigh ho! Among the rice fields !One rainy day we reached Sagada, Ha! Ha! As we toiled along oer the hills of Bontoc! A place most sweet with fragrant mint-beds, Heigh ho! How did it get there?A place most sweet with fragrant mint-beds, Ha! Ha! Way high up in the hills of Bontoc! We didnt do a thing but make a julep, Heigh ho!
