Gary Morris - Moosechin Stew lyrics

Moosechin Stew

In a bar in old Montana

A rumor circled round

How the men went up on the mountain

And they never came back down

Tell me why don't they come back

Could it be that they lose their will

I have to solve this mystery

Had to find out for myself

So I headed up on the mountain

The trail was deep and long

When I saw her in the shadows

I heard her siren song

She said I'm glad you made it

I've been waitin' here just for you

You look so hungry

Won't you have some stew

Chorus:

Well it was two parts passion

And a pound of gold

Just enough hope to save your soul

A dash of trust and pure desire

A burnin' ash and a red hot fire

Velvet blood

Turtle dove

Purple lace

Just for taste

Something borrowed and something blue

And the chin of a moose

She called it moosechin stew

Well her smile became a rainbow

After summer rain

She held me close and whispered

Darlin' aren't you glad you came

Then I knew it was over

I had finally learned the truth

There's no resisting what she called

moosechin stew

(Chorus)

There's a little witch in every woman

She's free to cast a spell

She'll tempt you with what she got from heaven

And make you feel like hell

Tell me why do they do it

Well it's a womanly thing to do

Every woman since the first of time

Has her own kind of brew

Well it's two parts passion

And a pound of gold

Just enough hope to save your soul

A dash of trust and pure desire

Burnin' ash and a red hot fire

Velvet blood

Turtle dove

Purple lace

Just for taste

Something borrowed and something blue

And the chin of a moose

It's called moosechin stew
