Oh my father said
"Just keep silent
And in the places where you´ve been
Nobody will say you´ve been seen"

And I go to the woods
Once or twice a year
And I sing "doo doo doo"
When they shave my hair

And I can see the vultures
The starvin´ vultures
And the old man´s gost
I can see the vultures
The starvin´ vultures
Killin´ two white goats

And in the big, big, big cities
I gave all I got
And I shared a secret with a stranger
For he won´t say it to my father

And I can see the vultures

The starvin´ vultures
And the old man´s gost
I can see the vultures
The starvin´ vultures
Killin´ two white goats
