Brother Bill |
Well me and brother Bill went a huntin' away up in the hills of Maine |
The reason why we went up there we thought we’d catch some gain |
And as we were a huntin' away in the middle of the night |
We shot somethin' that looked like a grizzly bear the doggone thing turned white |
Well I dropped that gun and away I run |
My brother Bill says boy what’s the matter with you |
And he’d known like me he’d’ve ran some too |
Well I’d ran so fast to say and they couldn’t catch me all day |
Away I’d run cross that field they couldn’t catch me with an automobile |
My brother Bill got so excited he commited shootin' at me |
I heard those bullets sizzlin' all among those trees |
I was runnin' so fast that night my feet wasn’t touchin' the ground |
I heard a little tailbird in the tree singing he’s Alabamy bound |
Well I’m goin' home I’m all alone |
My brother Bill says boy what’s the matter with you |
And he’d known like me he’d’ve cut out too |
Well I run so fast to say and they couldn’t catch me all day |
Away I run cross that field they couldn’t catch me with an automobile |
No they couldn’t catch me with an automobile |
