Homage to Cam


Boss Cam leaves. Laurin gets together with Neil Young and nuts out lyrics. Will strums on Susan's very nice Fender. Laurin manages to sound even more like Neil Young than Neil Young.

THE TRAPLINE AND THE DAMAGE DONE
I found you lying on the forest floor,
Because you’d ran into the cabin door,
Cam, Cam more damage done.

You went a walkin’ on your old trapline,
You didn’t hear the wolverine behind,
Cam, Cam more damage done.

You went a cruisin in your old canoe,
They’ll find a body in a week or two,
But happily we heard it wasn’t you.

We sing this song because we love the man,
But how much punishment can he withstand?
More blood keeps on spillin’ out.

I’ve seen the trapline and the damage done,
All of that pain it can’t be too much fun,
And from the bears someday he’ll have to run.

I’ve seen the trapline and the damage done,
And every injury beneath the sun,
But he’ll keep goin ‘cause he thinks it’s fun.

Lyrics: Lamothe/Young
(which has a ring like Lennon/McCartney don't you think? - but which one would be John? which one Paul?)
