Your f[C]ather's g[F]one a-h[C]unting
He's d[C]eep in the f[F]orest so w[C]ild
And he c[G]annot take his w[G7]ife with him
He c[F]annot take his ch[C]ild
Your father's gone a-hunting
Through the quicksand and the clay
And a woman cannot follow him
Although she knows the way
Your f[G]ather's gone a-h[Am]unting
Through the s[F]ilver and the gl[G]ass
Where [C]only gr[E7/B]eed can [Am]enter[/G]
But sp[F]irit, spirit cannot p[C]ass[G]
Your father's gone a-hunting
For the beast he'll never bind
And he leaves a baby sleeping
And his blessings all behind
Your father's gone a-hunting
And he's lost his lucky charm
And he's lost the guardian heart
That keeps the hunter from the harm
Your father's gone a-hunting
He asked me to say goodbye
And he warned me not to stop him
I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try
