An original tune from Kallion Karavaani.


OLD BARN
(Ollikainen/Maher)

And the old barn kept on burning and the night flames jigged their dance

The little silhouettes tried their best but they never really stood a chance

And the first of the men to surrender slowed and gathered around

To hear the sizzling and the crackling and the dry bones snapping

As the fire burned the old barn down



And the little boy who found the matches and an iddy biddy place to play

Had long since fled with eyes o'dread crying as he ran away

You gotta run little rabbit run boy run run till you run no more

And keep your mouth shut when the knot in your gut

Makes you think you been caught you’re caught now



Then the powers that be started pointing and the town folk did the same

Threw the last bucket taken from the water in the lake and started looking for somebody to blame

The women brought some good eating and the landlord brought some wine

A stranger passing through said ‘How do you do' and they said ‘You'll do fine just fine’



And the old barn kept on burning and the town folk wandered home

The little boy returned with shirt slightly burned

And the wisdom that he earned from the lesson that he learned.

You got to run little rabbit run boy run run till you run no more

And keep your mouth shut when the knot in your gut makes you think you been

Don't you think you been

Makes you think you been caught
