[G]
[E]
[G] Up in the land of copper where the Norway pines stand tall,
From the [C] Oran Iron Mountain to the Straits of [G] Mackinac,
Lived a man named Reuben, Reuben so it was his [Em] name,
Every [D] open day at deer camp he hung his head in [G] shame.
Reuben he loved hunting, but he never had no luck,
[C] At thirty years of trying, well he still ain't [G] bagged a buck,
Some say he's unlucky, some say [Em] he's just cursed,
[D] Some say when he pulled that trigger, Reuben [G]
wasn't worth,
There goes a buckless shooper, hang your head in shame,
[C] There goes a buckless shooper, hang [G] your head in shame,
There goes a buckless shooper, hang your head [Em] in shame,
[D] In the Escanaba Moonlight Reuben so it was [G] his name,
Wolf Moon Dance she loved him, she loved him through and through,
[C] Short of shooting for him there was nothing she [G] could do,
She made a secret potion, sealed it [Em] with a kiss,
[D] While Reuben squeezed that porcupine and doused [G] himself with piss,
Reuben danced around the campfire, Reuben howled up at the moon,
[C] Reuben changed the air around him till Kasaki [G] spilled the rum,
But the cards changed all the numbers and bright white night ran [Em] across the ridge,
[D] And the sweet sap turned to syrup, Jimmer Chevy [G] shook shit,
There goes a buckless shooper, hang your head in shame,
[C] There goes a buckless shooper, hang your [G] head in shame,
There goes a buckless shooper, hang your [Em] head in shame,
[D] In the Escanaba Moonlight Reuben so that was his name,
[Em] He's the mother Teresa of deer [D] hunt, [G] Bambi's best friend he [Em] was the UP's answer,
[D] To the question that never ends, [Em] he couldn't hit a house,
[D] If he was standing [G] inside, [D] and every buck new Reuben so they would bring him back alive,
[G] Well the night turned black as ice, there came a vision clear as day,
[C] Reuben started seeing things that would not [G] go away,
His heart skipped a beat, his eyes went wide, his crept across [Em] the floor,
[D] And he saw something no youper had ever seen [G] before,
Outside Reuben's window was a wolf with a woodchuck nose,
[C] The fur of a mean old grizzly from his head [G] down to his toe,
He had the eyes of a coon, and the teeth of a pike, and the claws of a wolverine,
[D] And when he yelled EIE, Reuben fell down on [G] his knees,
There goes a buckless shooper, hang your head in shame,
[C] There goes a buckless shooper, hang your head [G] in shame,
There goes a buckless shooper, hang your head [Em] in shame,

[D] Right there for all posterior, everybody sing along,
