lyrics

The Mad Trapper of Rat River

Long ago, way up north
There lived a man, his name unknown
In an 8 by 10 foot wooden shack

Constables were sent to see
About some mischief but he deemed
Their presence unwelcome; sent them back

Soon they returned
With a posse
Kicked in his door
But he drew first, shot one down and made them flee

Yet again, they dropped on by
With five sticks of dynamite
And blew the man’s cabin to the sky

But the mounties didn’t know
He’d hid out in a dugout so
He escaped on foot in the snow

Forty below
Six feet of snow
Yet he evaded
His pursuers and just how they did not know

So the Mounties hit the skies
In a plan to localize
The Mad Trapper of Rat River

That is when the pilot saw
That the man had walked along
Caribou tracks leaving no trace

Now with the upper hand
The posse caught up to the man
A showdown occurred in that place

Thirty three days
On the run
Came to an end
When the Mounties caught their man and shot him dead

And to this very day
No one knows the real name of
The Mad Trapper of Rat River
