Born in 1755
With Irish stubborn burning inside
Professed his love to Miss Ellen
But she gave her hand to Bill Leachman
Jealous rage was burning bright
When Simon went calling looking for a fight
He started swinging and swinging again
Till William laid there just like a dead man
So he ran through the wilderness
Silent as a deer
Ran through the wilderness
Of a new frontier
Till to the sway of the Red Oaks and the hum of the hollows
Was the only sound upon his ear
And Kenton Disappeared
March 1773
Among the canebrakes of Kentucky
He was rubbing his hands waiting out the rain
And drying his clothes over the flame
When the Shawnee warriors came rushing in
Oh he didn't have time to grab nothing
He didn't have pants, shoes or a gun
All he could do is get up n run
So he ran through the wilderness
Silent as a deer
Ran through the wilderness
Of a new frontier
Till to the sway of the Red Oaks and the hum of the hollows
Was the only sound upon his ear
And Kenton Disappeared
They captured him on the banks
Of the Ohio in '78
Cut-ta-ho-tha is what they called him
Cause he ran the gauntlet 9 times and lived
With the help of Simon Girty
He was sold to the British and set free
But he knew the Shawnee laid in wait
So he traveled back home the Wabash way
So he ran through the wilderness
Silent as a deer
Ran through the wilderness
Of a new frontier
Till to the sway of the Red Oaks and the hum of the hollows
Was the only sound upon his ear
And Kenton Disappeared
