Lyrics
I saw an old friend at the Culpeper Tavern
We drank some wine and we had a good time
We traded stories like any good travelers
But stories of truth was all we could find
I told him of the way that I searched for God's valley
Ever to wonder never to find
Then he told me of a place
Where an old white haired man lived
Fishing the rivers casting the seed
That's just what I need
By seven a.m. I was saddled and traveling
Riding for the valley on the words of my friend
I rode for three days till I came to the tall trees
I saw a sign that said this is the boundaries of man
I rode one more day till I came to big mountain
I climbed to the top there did I stand
That evening the rains came riding the thunder
The winds played a song till the first gray of dawn
I had to hang on
In the morning the birds came dancing and singing
Lead me the way to the valley below
I let my horse go
I found the old man he was down by the river
With an eagle on his shoulder and a line in his hand
And we traded stories like any good travelers
But mostly we spoke about moving our hands
He found his wife on the raging gray river
He gave her his love she gave him her hand
They had ten children the eldest a daughter
Who spoke to the deer about moving her hands
I saw an old friend at the Culpeper Tavern
We drank some wine and we had a good time
We traded stories like any good travelers
But stories of truth was all we could find
