Chant Down Cap’n

On this day
Of giving thanks
Be my girl
[?]
We sat on down
Upon the shore
She spoke alone
Forevermore

Be myself
Caught in the moor
Around the lake
And it flowed out, it flowed out, it flowed

I went around and around and around

And my girl
Went for a swim
To cleanse herself
On Thanksgiving
She ebbed on in
She dove on down
She wrapped herself
In the weeds on the bottom
For to drown [x3]

She wrapped herself around and around and around

[Spoken]
And I just rode my boat ashore
And I took out my fishing hook and wrapped it with my oar
And I threw my hook into the lake, and it just floated down
And it embedded inside her neck
And I pulled her onto the shore
And I dragged her around forevermore
And I say

With my hook inside her crook
I drug her around and round
With my hook inside her crook
Yes, I drug her around and round

Around and around
Around and around
Yeah, I drug her around

Now would she die
It caused me sad
But I give thanks
For what I have
I ripped the hook
Out her skin
On this day
Of Thanksgiving

And to this day
Around my neck
I wear that fish and fishing hook for
To protect, to protect, to protect
From going around and round [x4]
Well, drag me around and round
Going round and round and round
