lyrics

As I came over yonder hill, I spied a mighty turkey
He flapped his wings and he spread his tail
And his feet looked awful dirty

You can't see him but he sees you, he's watching from the side
It's hard to get the draw on him
He can see for half a mile

I spied a turkey, but he hasn't seen me yet
He ran behind a tree
And his feet looked awful dirty.

Purr softly now and lure him in, then do not make a sound
You'd better learn to hold your breath
If you want to take him down
