Slingshot

chorus:
Albea get your slingshot & sit here quietly
We’re gonna get a rabbit
For supper, you and me

Pop expected all of us
To help to run the home
We took to squirrel huntin’,
A skill that we could hone

“Go find us a rock or two,”
My brother always said
He helped me make my slingshot
So we could all be fed

chorus

Woodrow showed me one day
Just how to sit and wait
A rabbit or a squirrel
Soon would meet its fate

I’m not doin’ “nothin’”
A-leanin’ on this tree
I’m huntin’ food for supper,
My big brother & me

chorus

Pinch that rock real tight
And stretch the rubber band
You gotta be real patient
And hold a steady hand

Wait real nice and quiet
Like a statue stone
Pop’ll be so proud of us
When we bring supper home

chorus
