Built me a cabin on the Coho Trail
Cedar shake roof and a fence of rails
Wind come a-howling and the sky turn black
'Round the bald head of Three-Fingered Jack
Three-Fingered Jack in his coat of trees
Never a kind word did he say to me
Walking away and I won't look back
Fare thee well, cruel Three-Fingered Jack
Goodbye my sorrel, Miss Celie Jane
Proud were your haunches and your tangled mane
Will you await me 'til the sunrise red
Melts the white snowbank where you laid your head
Three-Fingered Jack in his coat of trees
Never a kind word did he say to me
Walking away and I won't look back
Fare thee well, cruel Three-Fingered Jack
Now if I was Joshua, I would shake and shine
'Round the wide valley, three and thirty times
Blow my brass trumpet and I'd stomp the ground
'Til that ol' mountain come a-tumbling down
Three-Fingered Jack in his coat of trees
Never a kind word did he say to me
Walking away and I won't look back
Fare thee well, cruel Three-Fingered Jack
Fare thee well, cruel Three-Fingered Jack
