When I saw you die the death
I ran to approach the poachers' nest
To strip them of their epaulet
You really are the maddest beast
Three hundred pounds wrapped in my cave
I packed you up with trophy bones
And bridged you on the peak
We stayed to watch the ships come in
And drank to when the chase felt good
I really could not leave him there
They put him through the mill
I rode back home to tell my friends
The moon it makes the wine taste sweet
