It's a story of left hand right hand
It's a story of love and hate
It's a story of left hand right hand
It's a story of love and hate
Well he's a cool one Ben Harper
Hangin' from a dead mans rope
And this is the story
The story two men wrote
Two men wrote
Two men wrote
It's a world of night for Pearl and John
It's a world of night when your daddy's gone
When everyone around you is so weak
You had to be so strong
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
Little good you are to your family
Hangin' from a dead man's rope
And this is the story
The story two children wrote
Two children wrote
Two children wrote
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night
In the night of the hunter
In the night of the hunter
Stronger than your Uncle Bernie
Stronger than Willa ever was
Strong as the shadows are long
Strong as the shadows are long
