The leopard maimed my baby in the night
He's in the corner now - but there's no shame just fight
"A leopard's what I am
I feed myself on man
Don't dare to ask what I have done
When I maim a little one"
He looked me in the eye
And spat it in my face
Then turned tail and ran
Leaving not a trace
Good brothers hear my cry
Tomorrow night your child may die
Good brothers rise up in the night
Scour the forest by torch-light
Run the vermin to his lair
Together let us kill him there
Raise the hue, shout the cry
Before day breaks the beast
must die
Such was my resolve
As I slipped into the night
Be it dark - be it cold
I'll not give up the fight
But track the worm to his lair
And finally confront him there
And having forced a way within
Emerge with a bloody leopard skin
