Hunter

I was alone and sickly

It was a quarter of a moonlit night

I heard him cry through my window shade

And it filled me so full of fright

But i could not turn my back on him

I put on the back porch light

"can i help you," said the good samaritan

"can i help you," said the good samaritan



I brought him bread and a blanket

But i told him, "you can't come in"

You can sleep outside in the tool shed

Though a little rain comes in

Oh, i don't know you, you're a stranger

I don't know where you've been

"you can't come in here," said the keeper of the inn

"i don't want you in here," said the keeper of the inn.



But i couldn't sleep for the thinking

You know my night got so insane

I thought, maybe he was an angel

And i left him out in the rain

And what if he was the devil

He'd be coming after me again

But when i woke in the weary morning he was gone

When i woke in the weary morning he was gone



I thought maybe he was an angel

And i left him out in the rain

And what if he was the devil

He'd be coming after me again

When i woke in the weary morning he was gone

When i woke in the weary morning, lord, he was gone
