Irish walked all the from Lacrosse,

Missed his train but he picked up a little dog,

Finally sat down by the banks of Old Man,

Snow is coming we could see the cold,
Am/C C
Hangin’ in the air.

We'll stretch our tarp from the corner in the air now,

With a blanket around his face like a shawl,

So no.

When he made camp about 3 AM,
Am/C C
And he stared the fire down with some friends,

And they shared around the little bit they had,
Am/C C
Slept off the haze throughout the day,
Am/C C
With his head on his duffle bag, man.

Hang the lines in the tree, about there now,

Am/C C
And the world goes by on a different plane,
Am/C C
But we all lived in the very same place,
Am/C C
When he woke up, it was the same day,
Am/C C
He built up his fire and set down to wait,
Am/C C
Just like today.
