trapper schoepp - ballad of olof johnson lyrics

[verse 1]
at the turn of the last century in the heart
of harding county
a swedish immigrant by way of chicago
had to go!
had to go!
had to go!
you came late in the fall
with tallest wagon
cool home
if there’s cold wind against his cheek
if below zero by the end of the road
it took a good long look around,then
dug deep in the ground
you flipped his wagon upside down
over a hole nowhere near the
nearest town

[chorus]
the wind went oooohhhhhhh
all night
he cried ohhhhhhhhh in fright

[verse 2]
no candle flame could keep him warm
but he had shelter from the storm
after seven long days
yeah thought about live on we might as well stay
he couldn’t feel with his fingertips
he couldn’t l!ck his dried-out lips
he dreamt about flowers and gl-sses of beer
then wake up screaming then wake up screaming with
no one could hear

[chorus]
the wind went oooohhhhhhh
all night
he cried ohhhhhhhhh in fright
in fright

[verse 3]
he spent 2 months hunkered down
like some fox that’d been chased by a hound
he came up and he didn’t make a sound
and he run he run and he never was found

[chorus]
the wind went oooohhhhhhh
all night
he cried ohhhhhhhhh in fright
in fright
the wind went oooohhhhhhh
all night
he cried ohhhhhhhhh in fright
in fright
it sounds right
