Redbrick cottage on the edge of the woods Cars and cages all around At the back in a lean-to-shed That's where my longdog's found Got a four wheel pickup and a shotgun Never brought a meal in my life I go shopping with a land a knife I got a longdog I am a poacher Well ot working the fields one night On another man's land The boys in they watched me leave A sack full of rabbits in hand Early nect dsy they followed me down To a shop in the middle of the square I sold brace of phwasants a rabbit and a hare I hot a longdog I am a poacher Only one thing a poor man needs A lean and a longdog built for speed But I was in the woods od the town Country court couldn't agree We got the longdog we got a poacher Well I've done time nie I'm on the street Smarter in the head abd lighter ony feet When those boys are out on the beat I'm gonna catch what l'm gonna eat With my longdog I am a poacher You kniw I got three months abd a big fat fine But I'm not naming names Half this town's had a real good time Living on longdog's game Redbrick cottage on the edge of the woods Cars and cages all around Waiting all day 'til the night comes around Are the longdog and the poacher
