well gather round people
|
and listen to this
|
i am a hermit of burial ridge
|
once i was shaven and worked every day
|
but the call of the wild just lured me away
|
|
singing hi hi ho it's a water a day
|
on my way to an unmarked grave
|
hi hi ho it's a water a day
|
on my way to an unmarked grave
|
|
there's pals at my table and mud on the floor
|
there's bears in the area and wolves at the door
|
their singing a song about cookie mcbride
|
who goes out a-trapping and then tails their hide
|
|
hi hi hey it's a water a day
|
on my way to an unhappy grave
|
hi hi hey it's a water a day
|
on my way to a rain filled grave
|
|
so if you're planning a natural trip
|
don't call up snooping on burial ridge
|
the searchers will come and discover your hide
|
high, wet and hanging like cookie mcbride
|
|
hi hi hey it's a water a day
|
on your way to an unhappy grave
|
hi hi hey it's a water a day
|
who will remember the money you saved?
|
|
i'm in over your head
|
you're in over your head
|
