Up in the land of copper where the Norwood pines stand tall,
from the ore in Iron Mountain to the Straits of Mackinaw,
live a man named Reuben, Rueben Soady was his name,
every opening day at deer camp, he hung hung his head in shame.

Reuben, he loved hunting but he never had no luck.
After 30 years of tryin', well, he still ain't bagged a buck.
Some say he's unlucky, some say he's just cursed,
Some say when he pulled that trigger, Reuben was the worst.

There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
in the escanaba moonlight, Reuben Soady was his name.

Wolf Moon Dance, she loved him, she loved him thru and thru,
short of shootin' for him there was nothin' she could do.
She made a secret potion, sealed it with a kiss,
while Reuben squeezed that porcupine and doused himself with p___.

Reuben danced around the campfire, Reuben howled up at the moon,
Reuben changed the air 'round him 'til (----) filled the room.
But the cards changed all the numbers and bright white light ran 'cross the ridge
(----------------------------------------------------)

There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
in the escanaba moonlight, Reuben Soady was his name.

He was the Mother Theresa of deer huntin', Bambi's best friend.
He was the UP's answer to the question that never ends.
Why he couldn't hit house if he was standin' inside
and every buck knew Reuben Soady would bring 'em back alive.

Well the night turned black as ice, there came a vision clear as day.
Reuben started seeing things that would not go away.
His heart skipped a beat and his eyes went wide as it crept across the floor
and he saw something no yooper had ever seen before.

Outside Reubens window was a wolf with a woodchuck nose,
the fur of a mean ol' grizzly from his head down to his toes.
It had the eyes of a c___ and the teeth of a pike and the claws of a wolverine,
and when it yelled Eee ya Eee, Reuben fell down on his knees.

There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
There goes a buckless yooper, hang your head in shame,
in the escanaba moonlight, Reuben Soady was his name.

Some say he went crazy, some say he went nuts,
some say Reuben lost his mind, no if's and's or but's.
But it's written in the Soady logbook, plain as the day is long,
right there for all posterior, everybody sing along.

(hoo biddy Boooooooo!)
