The Old Man Of Wise Tales Songtext / Lyric

Out from the cave the old man went, with six of his sons kept as namatoona, they hunted as told with eyes like and eagle, and feasted at will till sundown bestowed,
Then one night when sand was cleared cunning father married his sons, but it lasted short as they soon went with wise old one to receive all happenings,
When time had passed the devil-dog be-set, fierce wintry fellow needed young ones blood, but awoke did he the young one at that, and heard with ease the clawed beast calling, where are your six sons old man?
The beast now none but the old man fell ill, a spell cast out to make the fellow cold, now tired old one laid his sickened head, and with him gone six married sons.
