Your foot's a-getting colder

Look over your shoulder 

The one you are seeing 

That's what you never knew 

Hey, please Mom, I'm aching 

My feet and my legs are 

Beginning to groan 

And a-look what I'm after 

Some God way away 

I scream out your name, God 

I scream out your name 

Let me hear the words you say 

I'm just a poor boy anyway 

Hey girl can you see him 

Hey you do you know 

I'm sending it to you 

The gift I never gave 

And shiny it was — brook trout 

Oh that's what you never knew
