lyrics

built me a cabin on the coho trail
cedar shake roof and a fence of rails
wind come a' howlin and the sky turn black
'round the bald head of three-fingered jack

three-fingered jack in his coat of trees
never a kind word did he say to me
walkin away and i won't look back
fare thee well cruel three-fingered jack

goodbye my sorrel miss celia jane
proud were your haunches and your tangled mane
will you await me till the sunrise red
melts the white snowbank where you laid your head

if i was joshua i would rattle and chime
'round the dark tower three and thirty times
blow my brass trumpet and i'd stomp the ground
till that ol' mountain come a-tumblin down
