Return Pretender
Return Pretender
I met a fellow in the mountains
He said his name was Jack.
But I knew that Jack had
Died a few years back.
Here’s what I said then
“Return Pretender
You can’t be Jack
We all know he’ll
Not come back!”
Jack made a living
A trapper’s wage.
But furs don’t keep you
Safe from all that animal rage.
There weren’t much left when we found our Jack
We got him buried right
Ain’t no way Jack’s the one
That spoke to me that night.
Here’s what I said then
“Return Pretender
You can’t be Jack
We all know he’ll
Not come back!”
So, if you see a man, looks like Jack
And offers to shake your hand
Well there’s something you aught to know
You must understand
Here’s what to recall
“Return Pretender
You can’t be Jack
We all know he’ll
Not come back!”
Return Pretender
