I went round the mountain with my donkey and my dog
Feelin' kinda hungry so I butchered me a hog
You been sayin' things but I'll keep that to myself
Might take some fame or fortune just to keep you on my shelf

Sun will keep you warm and the wind will keep you dry
Turn your back on nature and she will surely cry

I saw the eagle ramp up with a fish in his black claws
I saw the bear clamp down with my leg inside his jaws
I'm a little man who's been beaten down real hard
But my whiskey keeps me happy, now my pig is slightly charred

Oh Lord I'm cryin' cos the pain is mighty deep
Too bad I'm a dyin' now it's time for me to sleep
Sun will keep you warm and the wind will keep you dry
Turn your back on nature and she will surely die
