Текст песни «Del Mccoury - Henry Walker»

Were seeking information
About a man who's living here
His name is Henry Walker
Now dont you fret and fear
His crime is cold blood murder
Hes wanted by the law
Well take him back to face his crime
Its the worst you ever saw


Well we know Henry Walker
He lives way back in the woods
Where he hunts and traps and fishes
And his living aint too good
But if you aim to catch him
You better learn his hunting ground
Hell hide just like an old white hare
And you know he cant be found


CHORUS:
Yes the cold was splitting timber
With a crack like a 44
And the wind was whistling through the lonesome pines
It bit right through my parka
And froze me to the core
As the wolves were howling on the timberline


We reached ol Henrys cabin
By noon of second day
He must have heard us coming
For he up and he ran away
We camped by the rocky rapids
While the moon was shining bright
We heard ol Henry laughing
Way out in the night


We tracked him for a week or more
Through the swamp and through the hills
Till a rifle roared I cried My God
My partner has been killed
I propped him by an ol jack pine
And swore a solemn vow
Lookout Henry Walker
Its you and me right now


So then I started thinking
He could not be found
Then one day by a frozen lake
Like a fox he went to ground
And he tried to run
But the ice was thin
And he fell on through
I watched him as he sank and swore
Ill put a curse on you


I dragged my frozen partner
Through the ice and through the snow
I lost three fingers and a toe
To the frostbite dont you know
Though the years have come, the years have gone
I think about those times
When Northern lights are dancing
It makes me feel like crying

Chorus:
As the wolves were howling on the timberline
As the wolves were howling on the timberline
