Dire Wolf (Live at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke University, Durham, NC, 4/12/78)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the timbers of Fennario the wolves are running 'round The winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground [Chorus] Don't murder me I beg of you, don't murder me Please don't murder me [Verse 2] I sat down to supper, 'twas a bottle of red whiskey I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me [Chorus] Don't murder me I beg of you, don't murder me Please don't murder me [Verse 3] When I awoke, the dire wolf, six hundred pounds of sin Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in" [Chorus] Don't murder me I beg of you, don't murder me Please don't murder me [Verse 4] The wolf came in, I got my cards, we sat down for a game I cut my deck to the queen of spades but the cards were all the same [Chorus] Don't murder me I beg of you, don't murder me Please don't murder me [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] In the backwash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire The dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing 'round the fire [Chorus] Don't murder me I beg of you, don't murder me Please don't murder me Don't murder me I beg of you, don't murder me Please don't murder me [Outro] Please don't murder me
