I Won’t Take The Devil’s Bait

I WON’T TAKE THE DEVIL’S BAIT
I ain’t gonna end up in a keepnet!
I won’t take the devil’s bait
I ain’t gonna end up in a keepnet!

I was made for the river not the keepnet!
I was made for the river not the keepnet!
I was made for the river not the keepnet!
I was made for the river not the pond….

O my soul has escaped
Like a bird from the fowlers snare
The snare is broken….
O my soul has escaped
Like a bird from the fowlers snare
The snare is broken….
We have escaped!

Godfrey Birtill
