Deerslayer Paroles

I cried, bent Deerslayer's muzzle
Father laughed, said, "There'll be more, son, you'll see"

Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery
Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery

Well, I grabbed Deerslayer
Off the rack of my Ford
I misjudged, smacked the hand-carved stock
Against my truck's door
And the explosion lit up the whole cab
Kay's face blushed red
I rolled my eyes towards Deerslayer
Seeing Kay, she was not dead
There was only a slight scratch
On the left lobe of Kay, my wife
If I'd never bent Deerslayer
I might have myself a different life You bring me pain and misery

Father told stories about the closeness of Slayer
"I fit Slayer in my right ear"
I would compensate for the bend in the barrel
By holding Deerslayer near
Cleaning mishaps are common 'mongst my people
My wife, Kay, she'd be rich
So I remove Deerslayer
Yeah, Kay, she don't deserve it

Oh, Deerslayer
You won't end my misery
Oh, Deerslayer
You won't end my misery

I grab the hand-carved stock of Deerslayer
With love to Kay, I come
I clubbed Kay close enough to her left ear
Like my fathers must have done
And looking down the muzzle
Deerslayer's now straight
I blushed red through my ear and neck
As I stepped over my wife Kay

Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery
Oh, Deerslayer
Let's compare our misery

I'll always carry
You close to me
