LYRICS // WOODSWOMAN My husband said, “Get out” I had ‘til July the Fourth With my family dead or gone I had no house to call my own So I left in the month of May For the wilds of Black Bear Lake Into this wilderness I was thrown My memories kept me warm The loons were calling and the moon was full As I hiked a trail to find my home I signed a deed and I laid a claim Forty-five logs were delivered to the water’s edge My instincts told me to run Then I saw the glory of the setting sun My knees grew week at the thought of leaving my shack I knew right then I wasn’t going back The freeze-out chilled my bones The loneliness hit me hard It took me years with a heavy load To mark this corner as my own My instincts told me to run Then I saw the glory of the setting sun My knees grew week at the thought of leaving my shack I knew right then I wasn’t going back It took me years with a heavy load To mark this corner as my own I picked and I swung my ax They call me Woodswoman of the Adirondacks
