Hunter |
| I was alone and sickly |
| It was a quarter of a moonlit night |
| I heard him cry through my window shade |
| And it filled me so full of fright |
| But I could not turn my back on him |
| I put on the back porch light |
| «Can I help you» said the Good Samaritan |
| «Can I help you» said the Good Samaritan |
| I brought him bread and a blanket |
| But I told him «You can’t come in» |
| You can sleep outside in the tool shed |
| Though a little rain comes in |
| Oh, I don’t know you, you’re a stranger |
| I don’t know where you’ve been |
| «You can’t come in here» said the keeper of the inn |
| «I don’t want you in here,» said the keeper of the inn |
| But I couldn’t sleep for the thinking |
| You know my night got so insane |
| I thought, maybe he was an angel |
| And I left him out in the rain |
| And what if he was the devil |
| He’d be coming after me again |
| But when I woke in the weary morning he was gone |
| When I woke in the weary morning he was gone |
| I thought maybe he was an angel |
| And I left him out in the rain |
| And what if he was the devil |
| He’d be coming after me again |
| When I woke in the weary morning he was gone |
| When I woke in the weary morning, Lord, he was gone |
