Walkers Song

                The Walkers



1)     Adam Walker he was born in the woods
    He knew the ways of the wild
    And the pathways of the stars

    Adam had to leave his stomping grounds
    But he never moved to town

    And where he was buried
    Finally laid down
    They didn’t say, no, they didn’t say

    Oh that was a long time ago
    Some folks laugh when you tell ‘em
    They say that’s just a story
    ‘Bout the knowing of the wild
    ‘Bout the pathways of a man and the stars



2)     Davie Walker he was born in a town
    He knew the ways of the wild
    And the pathways of the stars

    Davie had to leave his stompin grounds
    Yes, he later moved to town
    Where he stayed 'til his dyin day
   
    And that was long ago
    Everybody knows it’s so
    They can point to the record
    ‘Bout his knowing of the ways
    ‘Bout the pathways of a man and the stars





3)      I am a Walker wasn’t born in the woods
    I’m like a deer in a pasture
    Like an owl in a cage

    I’ve had to leave my stompin grounds
    For a variety of towns
    I still draw the breath, people know my face
    Where I’ll lay my bones I cannot say

    Seems a long time now
    That I walk the woods
    And I study the trails
    Cause I want to know the ways
    ‘Bout the pathways of a soul to the stars




4)     My brother Walker he was born across the sea
    He knows the ways of the wild
    And the pathways of the stars
   
    My brother had to leave his stompin grounds
    He never really moved to town

    He was briefly buried
    Temporarily laid down
    But he didn’t stay, no he didn’t stay

    That was some time ago
    People argue bout the facts
    But I don’t care what they say
    ‘Bout the knowing of the way
    ‘Bout the meeting of a man and the stars
