DEM DEER
(Peter and Lou Berryman)

Hope you don’t mind when an old man sings
Helps me to keep my mind on t’ings
So when I go where the animals thrive
I sing dis song on the treacherous drive
A - - - / - - E A ?

Dem deer dey’re here, den dey’re dere
Dey’re here, dey’re dere, dey’re everywhere (repeat)

At dawn in fields & coniferous groves
Bucks & does come alive in droves
Just when you think that the coast is clear
There in the road is a whitetail deer

In venison-land as the day goes by
Deer lay low when the sun is high
Sun goes down & de night draws near
Twilight brings out the whitetail deer

Bucks bed down where de tall grass grows
Fawns dey doze where de doe does doze
Dose does doze dere, dose does doze here
And dose are de habits of de whitetail deer
