Hunter Green

Last fall I hunted white-tail deer
 My dog and gun with me
 I wandered to a shady grove
 Where ivy grew dark green
 Where ivy grew dark green
 I raised my gun so carefully
 And fired into the trees
 Then saw it was my true love fell
 In a dress of darkest green
 A dress of darkest green
 Her eyes reflected back the moon
 As I carried her back to my car
 But as I crossed the empty road
 Was a dead deer in my arms
 A dead deer in my arms
 Next night I rowed upon the waves
 To catch a leaping fish
 But on the hook my lover's heart
 I pulled from briny depths
 I pulled from briny depths
 As I lay her cold corpse down
 In the bottom of my boat
 It was a jumping fish
 Caught in my nets and rope
 Caught in my nets and rope
 Third night I spied a wild boar
 Charging madly through the trees
 But I raised not my gun to her
 Just let her come to me
 Just let her run to me
 And as I fell in mossy ferns
 As her teeth grabbed hold of me
 It was the lips of my true love
 That kissed me dark and green
 Kissed me dark and green
