The Ballad Of Cookie McBride

Well gather around people And listen to this I am a hermit of burial ridge Once I was shaven and worked every day But the call of the wild just lured me away Chorus Singing hi hi ho it's a water a day On my way to an unmarked grave Hi hi ho it's a water a day On my way to an unmarked grave Verse 2 There's pals at my table and mud on the floor There's bears in the area and wolves at the door Their singing a song about Cookie McBride Who goes out a-trapping and then tails their hide Chorus Hi hi hey it's a water a day On my way to an unhappy grave Hi hi hey it's a water a day On my way to a rain filled grave Verse 3 So if you're planning a natural trip Don't call up snooping on burial ridge The searchers will come and discover your hide High, wet and hanging like Cookie McBride Chorus Hi hi hey it's a water a day On your way to an unhappy grave Hi hi hey it's a water a day Who will remember the money you saved Outro I'm in over your head You're in over your head
