And the two of you got your skis out
And you hauled him sixty miles into town

The boy was glad to help you
He didn't realise he'd been arrested

He thought he'd done his duty
“They told me I should protect the land”
He said “I only killed a bad man”
He said “They told me I should protect the land”
