Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Taint
my grandfather used to sing this song to me. I dont remember all of it and I'm not sure if these are the exact words but here is what I say when I sing the second verse.

sam's little girl he loved so much lived down the country lane
said sam i'll go to her tonight and to her i'll explain
but just before he reached the path a form appeared in white
sam turned around ran down the lane and soon was out of sight

the noise he made while runnin fast scared up a big wild deer
sam and that deer ran neck and neck both running full of fear
Sam beat that deer ten yards or more while yelling full of glee
you better get that rockin chair off your head and try to catch up with me

chorus
