Damn! I can't believe i'm the first guy to comment on this tune. Saw William Elliot Whitmore open up for Clutch at the Roxy several years ago. He kept a packed house of drunken rockers electrified with just his foot, a banjo and his voice. Amazing performer - you could have heard a pin drop.
This is definitely my favorite WEW song though - well, so far. Don't know that there's a whole lot riding under here. To me it sounds like the warnings from a dangerous man. Could be speaking to the boy who's strayed from the fold (i think thats what "foal" should be.) Perhaps he's wronged this man in his straying and the man is telling him to get lost before he gets dead, Head to the woods, just don't fuck with the water or the trees and we'll be cool.
