Willy of the Woods

 

 Deep in the woods  
 where the copperheads thrive
 lives a hermit named Willy
 and his pet cat Clyde
 
 
 They ain’t too friendly
 so approach them with care
 it’s been said that Willy
 might lift your hair
 
 
 and Clyde is as mean 
 as any cat can be
 Clyde is a Bobcat
 born wild and free
 
 
 They live on squirrel  
 and possum and coon
 and deer that Willy poaches
 by the light of the moon
 
 
 Willy makes a little Shine
 in an ageless copper still
 and if you know who to see
 you can buy it in Hemphill
 
 
 There’s a creek close by
 and Willy likes to go
 and catch some fish
 where the weeping willows grow
 
 
 He bothers no one
 just wants to be alone
 in the deep piney woods
 where he makes his home
