Fool Killer - Original Musicor Records Recording

Once there was a boy who left the bed he slept in
 And he ran away 'cause he felt life was cruel
 A killer of fools was walking close behind him
 The boy was afraid that he was a fool
 Oh the fool killer is a giant, they say
 He chops down the fool and he goes on his way
 That runaway boy was a runaway boy
 Very much like you
 So he climbed the hills and roamed the woods and valleys
 Just get up and go became his golden rule
 A killer of fools was walking in the shadows
 The boy was afraid that he was a fool
 Then there came a day a man and woman found him
 Loving meeting smile and then they called him son
 No more did he fear that wicked old fool
 I know that it's true because I was the one
 Oh, the fool killer is a giant, they say
 He chops down the fool and he goes on his way
 Well, who was the fool, tell me
 The boy in his bed, or the boy you used to know
 Runaway boy, listen
 Runaway boy, better grow on better
