G
Up in the land of copper, where the Norwood pines stand tall
C G
From the ore in Iron Mountain to the straits of Mackinaw
G Em
Lived a man named Reuben, Reuben Soady was his name
D G
Every open day of deer camp, he hung his head in shame
G
Reuben, he loved huntin’, but he never had no luck
C G
After thirty years of tryin’, well, he still ain’t bagged a buck
G Em
Some say he’s unlucky, some say he’s just cursed
D G
Some say when he pulled that trigger, Reuben was the worst

[chorus]
G
There goes a buckless Yooper, hang your head in shame
C G
There goes a buckless Yooper, hang your head in shame
G Em
There goes a buckless Yooper, hang your head in shame
D G
In the Escanaba moonlight, Reuben Soady was his name
G
Wolf Moon Dance, she loved him, loved him through and through
C G
Short of shootin’ for him, there was nothin’ she could do
G Em
She made a secret potion, sealed it with a kiss
D G
While Reuben squeezed that porcupine and doused himself with piss
G              
Reuben danced around the campfire, Reuben howled up at the moon
C G
Reuben changed the air around him till kisakees filled the room

G Em
But the cards changed all their numbers and white light ran ‘cross the ridge
D G
And sweet sap turned to syrup and Jimmer’s Chevy took a shit

[chorus]
Em D G
He’s the Mother Theresa of deer hunters, Bambi’s best friend
Em D G
He was the U.P.’s answer to the question that never ends
Em D G
He couldn’t hit a house if he was standin’ inside
C D
And every buck knew Reuben Soady would bring ‘em -- back alive

G
Well, the night turned black as ice, there came a vision clear as day
C G
Reuben started seeing things that wouldn’t go away
G Em
His heart skipped a beat and his eyes went wide as he crept across the floor
D G
And he saw something no Yooper had ever seen before
G
Outside Reuben’s window was a wolf with a woodchuck nose
C G
The fur of a mean old grizzly bear from his head down to his toes
G
He had the eyes of a coon and the teeth of a pike
Em D
And the claws of a wolverine, and when he yelled E -- I – E
G
Reuben fell down on his knees

[chorus] [instrumental]
G
Well, some say he went crazy, some say he went nuts
C G
Some say Reuben lost his mind, no Ifs-Ands-or-Buts
G Em
But it’s written in the Soady logbook, plain as the day is long
D G
Right there for all posterior – everybody sing along –

[Repeat Chorus twice, and on second time repeat final line]

[instrumental]
