Cap'n Jerry

[Verse 1]

I roam these hills carrying the fox I found

And when I’m tired I’ll lay it down

And get myself a drink of water

But I will keep on through til I’ve reached your door

Lay the hide out on the floor

Give you Cap’n Jerry’s fifty dollars

[Verse 2]

He said he’s sorry he could not stay

But there were things that couldn’t wait

He’ll be back when he tends to business

But I feared you’d think the Cap’n was an unjust man

So I thought I’d lend a hand

And bring back the debt he owed you

[Chorus]

And who knows along the way

I might find myself a reason

As to why I live this way

Runnin’ up and down thesе dirty streets

Throwing my money so I don’t sleep alone

[Verse 3]

Look straight ahead Aaron is on his way

Ridin’ for thе same old thing

I guess it was perfect timin’

Cause my heart is strong but my bones they ache

But they always do these days

From livin’ like a drunken heathen

[Chorus]

And who knows along the way

I might find myself a reason

As to why I live this way

Runnin’ up and down these dirty streets

Throwing my money so I don’t sleep alone
