In the sea that is green with a hook in it's mouth In a jungle that is dark a thorn in his foot In the heavy heat of desert Sun in the eyes A bird sings from his placement On a barbed wire fence Do not fly so high That your wings will freeze Barn mouse Boils water in his kettle He whistles whistles out a tune Old padfoot outside sleeping His dreams of warm blood And swift hunts The moon is high now The river flowing like a silver ribbon An old farmer rides his wagon Pulled on by the old mare He was once ran wild through Golden plains far away But one day he ran too far from home
