Lyrics The Hunter's Ode - Laura Jean

The Hunter's Ode

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
