Letra de Deerslayer
I was given the heirloom
Of my father's father's father's father's father
A hand-carved rifle
That was known as Deerslayer
I put the yearling in my sights
I gutshot the beast
I cried, bent Deerslayer's muzzle
Father laughed, said, "There'll be more, son, you'll see"

Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery
Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery

Well, I grabbed Deerslayer
Off the rack of my Ford
I misjudged, smacked the hand-carved stock
Against my truck's door
And the explosion lit up the whole cab
Kay's face blushed red
I rolled my eyes towards Deerslayer
Seeing Kay, she was not dead
There was only a slight scratch
On the left lobe of Kay, my wife
If I'd never bent Deerslayer
I might have myself a different life

Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery
Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery

Father told stories about the closeness of Slayer
"I fit Slayer in my right ear"
I would compensate for the bend in the barrel
By holding Deerslayer near
Cleaning mishaps are common 'mongst my people
My wife, Kay, she'd be rich
So I remove Deerslayer
Yeah, Kay, she don't deserve it

Oh, Deerslayer
You won't end my misery
Oh, Deerslayer
You won't end my misery

I grab the hand-carved stock of Deerslayer
With love to Kay, I come
I clubbed Kay close enough to her left ear
Like my fathers must have done
And looking down the muzzle
Deerslayer's now straight
I blushed red through my ear and neck
As I stepped over my wife Kay

Oh, Deerslayer
You bring me pain and misery
Oh, Deerslayer
Let's compare our misery

I'll always carry
You close to me
