On a bright and summer's morning, the ground all covered with snow I put my shoulder to my gun, and a-hunting... A - hunting I did go I went up on the mountain, beyond yon high hill And fifteen or twenty, ten thousand... Ten thousand I did kill The money that I got for the venison skin, I hauled it to my daddy's barn And it wouldn't half go I... It wouldn't half go in Some boys and girls were skating, on a bright and summer's day The ice broke through, they all fell in, the rest they run... The rest they run away I went up on the mountain, beyond the peak so high The moon come round with lightning speed. "I'll take a ride," says... "I'll take a ride," says I The moon come around the mountain, it took a sudden whirl My feet slipped and I fell out, and landed in this... And landed in this world The man that made this song tune, his name was Benny Young If you can tell a bigger lie, I'll say you ought to be... I'll say you ought to be hung
