Don't you give up my young young friend
|
Here's a story I think will please
|
How sir Rastus Bear was in fact redeemed
|
Redeemed from the cell to which he'd been thrown
|
By men whose love was more for the ice and cold
|
|
Goblins of surcease, villains of wise
|
They pranced your brain all through the long long night
|
Sir Rastus Bear who'd ever believe
|
You'd be by a song redeemed?
|
|
Up on the north forty, I'm sure it was christmas day
|
When sir Rastus Bear taught children how to play
|
Games of life and love, and songs, oh, those songs
|
Oh those deep but true, healed (?) country songs
|
|
Goblins of surcease, villains of wise
|
They pranced your brain all through the long long night
|
Sir Rastus Bear who'd ever believe
|
You'd be by a song redeemed?
|
|
Redeemed, good lord, from the ice and cold
|
Redeemed from the cell to which I've been thrown
|
Redeemed by virtue, of a country song
|
And I believe that lord, It won't be long
|
