Three-Fingered Jack

Built me a cabin on the Coho Trail

Cedar-shake roof, and a fence of rails

Wind come a-howlin', and the sky turned 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

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

If i was Joshua i would shake and chime

'round the wide valley, thirty times

Blow my brass trumpet and I'd stomp the ground

Till that ol' mountain come a-tumblin' down

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

Fare thee well, cruel Three-Fingered Jack
