Hope you don’t mind when an old man sings
Helps me to keep my mind on t’ings
So when I go where de animals thrive
I sing dis song on de treacherous drive

Dem deer dey’re here, den dey’re dere
Dey’re here, dey’re dere, dey’re everywhere
Dem deer dey’re here, den dey’re dere
Dey’re here, dey’re dere, dey’re everywhere

At dawn in fields & coniferous groves
Bucks & does come alive in droves
Just when you tink dat de coast is clear
Dere in de road is a whitetail deer

In venison-land as de day goes by
Deer lay low when de sun is high
Sun goes down & de night draws near
Twilight brings out de whitetail deer

Bucks bed down where de tall grass grows
Fawns dey doze where de doe does doze
Dose does doze dere, dose does doze here
And dose are de habits of de whitetail deer
