00:00In Up Dog, Texas
00:30You were in for a fight
00:31With a flick of his wrist
00:33You'd take off in fright
00:35He guarded his home
00:36With a fierce wild pride
00:38Walter Bottle, oh, he wouldn't let slide
00:42Oh, Walter Bottle, you knew his name
00:47A fork-wielding hero
00:49A bowman untamed in Up Dog Town
00:52Folks knew the score
00:54Get too close
00:56And face the forkman's war
00:58Back in the army, they marched on his place
01:08Seven brave soldiers met their end in disgrace
01:11The echoes of gunshots rang out neath the sky
01:15As Walter threw pitchforks, they ran and they'd cry
01:18With steel that was shining and hands quick as light
01:22He fought for his land with ferocious might
01:25In 1889, brave men gathered round
01:29Police and the army, they'd come to take down
01:33Oh, Walter Bottle, you knew his name
01:37A fork-wielding hero
01:39A bowman untamed in Up Dog Town
01:43Folks knew the score
01:44Get too close and face the forkman's war
01:49A hundred men strong, they advanced on his barn
01:58But forkman's resolve just would not be torn
02:02Raining down pitchforks like a storm from above
02:05Twenty-five men fell, oh, he fought like a dove
02:09Then gathered in fear, the soldiers to bite
02:12A soldier stood up and shouted, let's hide
02:16But looking around in disbelief, they saw
02:19It was forkman in disguise
02:21He was hiding, not wrong
02:23Out through the window, he made his escape
02:28The forkman was clever, he wore many shapes
02:31For five days and nights, they chased him anew
02:35Over three state lines, the legend just grew
02:38Oh, Walter Bottle, you knew his name
02:44A fork-wielding hero
02:45A bowman untamed in Up Dog Town
02:49Folks knew the score
02:51Get too close and face the forkman's war
02:55Oh, Walter Bottle, forever you'll reign
03:04A fork-wielding legend where the wild winds wane
03:08From Up Dog to Kentucky
03:09Your story survives in the heart of the South
03:13Where your spirit thrives
03:19Why?
03:30Why?
03:31why?
03:32why?
03:34why?
03:34why?
03:44why?
03:47Aum.
