Original lyrics
ENOh, I wrote my name
On the back of your hand
I wrapped it in leather
And buried it deep in the sand.
As you float down the river
Down to the sea
I'll set fire to the forest
It'll burn down on me.
And you, you're in your houseboat
Me, I'm in my tree
Oh, good Lord, baby
Ain't it great to be free.
Oh, I wrote my name
On the back of your hand
I wrapped it in leather
And I buried it deep in the sand.
Oh, I wrote my name
On the back of your hand
And if I'm to blame
You'll find me buried in the sand.
