Deerslayer Lyrics by DBUK

Songs One Through Sixteen

2018

[Verse 1]
I was given the heirloom
Of my father's father's father's father's father
A hand-carved rifle
That was known as Deerslayer
I put the yearling in my sights
I gutshot the beast
I cried, bent Deerslayer's muzzle
Father laughed, said, "There'll be more, son, you'll see"

[Chorus]
Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery
Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery
Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, Deerslayer
You won't end my misery
Oh, Deerslayer
You won't end my misery

[Verse 4]
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

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

[Outro]
I'll always carry
You close to me
