lyrics

This is the story of the Staghorn
And how he’s running free
I know the Staghorn
He wants the same from me

It’s the story of the Staghorn
And how he’s running free
I know the Staghorn
He wants the same from me
I know the Staghorn wants the same for me
I know the Staghorn he wants the same for me

Taken from Texas and sent to Nebraska
By an infamous banjo smuggler
On the journey he broke his chains
To claim his place as the king of the plains

It’s the story of the Staghorn
And how he’s running free
I know the Staghorn
He wants the same from me
I know the Staghorn wants the same for me
I know the Staghorn he wants the same for me

There were some who said his freedom was not his own
They’d try to enslave him and take him from his home
He said no I will not live under your rule
I will not be just a mindless fool
It’s the story of the Staghorn

And how he’s running free
I know the Staghorn
He wants the same from me
I know the Staghorn wants the same for me
I know the Staghorn he wants the same for me
