Last fall I hunted white-tail deer my dog and gun with me I wandered to a shady grove where ivy grew dark green where ivy grew dark green I raised my gun so carefully and fired into the trees then saw it was my true love fell in a dress of darkest green a dress of darkest green Her eyes reflected back the moon as I carried her back to my car but as I crossed the empty road was a dead deer in my arms a dead deer in my arms Next night I rowed upon the waves to catch a leaping fish but on the hook my lover's heart I pulled from briny depths I pulled from briny depths As I lay her cold corpse down in the bottom of my boat it was a jumping fish caught in my nets and rope caught in my nets and rope Third night I spied a wild boar charging madly through the trees but I raised not my gun to her just let her come to me just let her run to me And as I fell in mossy ferns as her teeth grabbed hold of me it was the lips of my true love that kissed me dark and green kissed me dark and green
