Hunterby Joni Mitchell I was alone and sickly It was a quarter of a moonlit night I heard him cry through my window shade And it filled me so full of fright But I could not turn my back on him I put on the back porch light "Can I help you" said the Good Samaritan "Can I help you" said the Good Samaritan I brought him bread and a blanket But I told him "You can't come in" You can sleep outside in the tool shed Though a little rain comes in Oh, I don't know you, you're a stranger I don't know where you've been "You can't come in here" said the keeper of the inn "I don't want you in here," said the keeper of the inn But I couldn't sleep for the thinking You know my night got so insane I thought, maybe he was an angel And I left him out in the rain And what if he was the devil He'd be coming after me again But when I woke in the weary morning he was gone When I woke in the weary morning he was gone I thought maybe he was an angel And I left him out in the rain And what if he was the devil He'd be coming after me again When I woke in the weary morning he was gone When I woke in the weary morning, Lord, he was gone © 1969; Siquomb Publishing Corp |
