Old coot, an old top Old coot, a retard Old coot, a peculiar elder Old coot, bowlegged Old coot, on the cold hill Old coot, had an adder on his chest Screamed in the woods alone at night Screamed in the woods hot coals on his hands Smoking palms shoes in the woods At night alone, tired old man On the cold hill adder lied One high, two low Old mans palm an adder had bit Created an itch, thwarted spit Old man alone at night twisted On the stairs watched the adder Its head on the chopping block, evil demon The throat of the twisted worm under an axe Old man healed the devils bite Poured with booze, washed with spirits With sapped wood heated sauna Read charms, casted spells Wondered they a lot in old coots town Old mans twisting, mans fight Strange pranks of curved back adders Old mans lone struggle at night Old coot, old top Would tire down from less, too Stronger ones get worn down right away Old coot tired.
