lyrics

Awkward stares and opened armed fool
Didn’t she want it too?
Weeks thinkin’ of a river that runs true
Can’t believe he’ll spend it without you

We’ll all gather round’ and tell
Of how Moose Johnson rose and fell
Lost his love and it ain’t right
Now he sleeps alone at night

Many men would have drunk it off,
Moose’s saw ‘em eight to ten at the barman’s trough
Working man’s hands are his tools,
Moose wasn’t anybody’s fool

(Comedic interlude)

So he went to the magistrate
To see how he could change his fate
Man said to build a schoolhouse
And Moose showed em he weren’t no mouse

We’ll all gather round’ and tell
Of how Moose Johnson rose and fell
Showed he wouldn’t back down that day
Now he watches the children laugh and play
