My name is summer joe And I live here off the land And I'll be living off the land When the winter nights are cold I just got off my line Rabbit stew suits me fine But a good moose for my winter k** Would take away the winter's chill When the geese fly and the sky it is so blue and clear And you can hear them calling for a hundred miles And when the wind blows and the air is crisp and frosty still Up on the hill the deer are settling for the night And that's when I know I want it back I never asked for anything Just to be left alone And the tb has got my grandson It'll probably get me too And the welfare lines grow longer And these things we never knew And the oil rigs are noisy And the roads eat up the ground And the trucks they come a pounding And they make a terrible sound They scared away the deer And they scared away the geese And they scared away a way of life And I just want a little peace When the geese fly and the sky it is so blue and clear And you can hear them calling for a hundred miles And when the wind blows and the air is crisp and frosty still Up on the hill the deer are settling for the night Well my name is summer joe And I live here off the land And I'll die here on this land i'll have you know
