05

I was told a story while I warned them of the sky

And I could see no good reason why the old man would have lied

Oh, he looked to be about as strong as a fish

And I tell it as I wonder what's the poor man's only dying wish

The winter of ought five

Left with two score and five lives

For the red eyed coal dogs howl

Could be heard for miles around

In the book of Genesis

God grants man dominion

Over animals and the black dogs

Of P. Pont caught a glimpse

Come springtime there was food

But the widows all refused

And the poor man's black dogs came

To escort those who remained

Brothers, sisters

Go across the river

Don't look back once there

Trust in God and take care

The winter of ought five

Left with two score and five lives

For the red eyed coal dogs howl

Could be heard for miles around
