Your foot's a-getting colder
Look over your shoulder
The one you are seeing
That's what you never knew
Hey, please Mom, I'm aching
My feet and my legs are
Beginning to groan
And a-look what I'm after
Some God way away
I scream out your name, God
I scream out your name
Let me hear the words you say
I'm just a poor boy anyway
Hey girl can you see him
Hey you do you know
I'm sending it to you
The gift I never gave
And shiny it was â€" brook trout
Oh that's what you never knew
