Leonard CohenAbout
In this song from his album “Various Positions” Cohen uses the popular English folk song “A-Hunting We Will Go” as inspiration.
A-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go
Heigh-ho, the derry-o,
A-hunting we will go.
A-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go
We’ll catch a fox and put him in a box
...
Hunter’s Lullaby Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your father's gone a-hunting
He's deep in the forest so wild
And he cannot take his wife with him
He cannot take his child
[Verse 2]
Your father's gone a-hunting
In the quicksand and the clay
And a woman cannot follow him
Although she knows the way
[Verse 3]
Your father's gone a-hunting
Through the silver and the glass
Where only greed can enter
But spirit, spirit cannot pass
[Verse 4]
Your father's gone a-hunting
For the beast he'll never bind
And he leaves a baby sleeping
And his blessings all behind
[Verse 5]
Your father's gone a-hunting
And he's lost his lucky charm
And he's lost the guardian heart
That keeps the hunter from the harm
[Verse 6]
Your father's gone a-hunting
He asked me to say goodbye
And he warned me not to stop him
I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try
