The Hunter's Ode - Laura Jean

I tried to trap you

Like a hunter traps a black bear

And you outsmarted me

And so we began a courting

Based on outsmarting

Ill take no woman friends

Ill go to no town

La la-la, la la-la la

And you’ll hide in a damn cave

All through the winter

La la-la, la la-la la

Its very tiring

Alone in the forest land

Hunting, hunting

I saw you in a clearing

And I could’ve caught you

You could’ve hurt me

I’ll take no woman friends

Ill go to no town

La la-la, la la-la la

And you’ll hide in your damn cave

All through the winter

La la-la, la la-la la

Dad cry morning

We forgot our corners

And we rested in the grass

We’re the fairy tales

We’re living in the fair hills

With the sky, the woods, and the river, the river, the river

I’ll take no woman friends

Ill go to no town

La la-la, la la-la la

And you’ll hide in your damn cave

All through the winter

La la-la, la la-la la

Don’t you take no woman in

She wouldn’t understand it, yes, the hound

(The hound, the hound, the hound)

I’ll hide in your damn cave

And from your clearing

La la-la, la la-la la
