[Verse]
Well gather round, people, and listen to this
I am a hermit of Burial Ridge
Once I was shaven and worked every day
But the call of the wild just lured me away

[Chorus]
Singing, hi hi ho it's a watery day
On my way to an unmarked grave
Hi hi ho, it's a watery day
On my way to an unmarked grave

[Verse 2]
There's pals at my table and mud on my floor
There's bears in the area and wolves at the door
They're singing a song about Cookie McBride
Who goes out a-trapping and then tails their hides

[Chorus]
Hi hi hey, it's a watery day
On my way to an unhappy grave
Hi hi hey, it's a watery day
On my way to a rain-filled grave

[Verse 3]
So if you're planning a natural trip
Don't go snooping on Burial Ridge
The searchers will come and discover your hide
High, wet, and hanging like Cookie McBride
[Chorus]
Hi hi hey, it's a watery day
On your way to an unhappy grave
Hi hi hey, it's a watery day
Who will remember the money you saved?

[Outro]
I'm in over your head
You're in over your head
