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, 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 On the weeds on the bottom For to drown (x3)
She wrapped herself around and around and around
(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 on to the shore And I dragged her around forevermore)
With my hook inside her crook I drug her round and round With my hook inside her crook Yes, I drug her round 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 looked upon At her skin On this day Of Thanksgiving
And to this day Around my neck I wear that fish and fishhook for To protect, to protect, to protect From going round and round (x4) Drag me round and round Going round and round and round
