O h my father said
" Just keep silent
A nd in the places where you've been
N obody will say you've been seen"
A nd I go to the woods
O nce or twice a year
A nd I sing "doo doo doo"
W hen they shave my hair
A nd I can see the vultures
T he starvin' vultures
A nd the old m an's ghost
I see the vultures
T he starvin' vultures
K illin' two wh ite goats
A nd in the big big big citi es
I gave all I got
A nd I shared a secret with a stranger
F or he won't say it to my father
A nd I can see the vultures
T he starvin' vultures
A nd the old ma n's ghost
I see the vultures
T he starvin' vultures
K illin' two white goats
