Your father's gone a-huntingHe's deep in the forest so wildAnd he cannot take his wife with himHe cannot take his child.Your father's gone a-huntingIn the quicksand and the clayAnd a woman cannot follow himAlthough she knows the way.Your father's gone a-huntingThrough the silver and the glassWhere only greed can enterBut spirit, spirit cannot pass.Your father's gone a-huntingFor the beast we'll never cannot bindAnd he leaves a baby sleepingAnd his blessings all behind.Your father's gone a-huntingand he's lost his lucky charmAnd he's lost the guardian heartThat keeps the hunter from the harm.Your father's gone a-huntingHe asked me to say goodbyeAnd he warned me not to stop himI wouldn't, I wouldn't even try.
