First two songs: Valley of the Skookum and Piney Woods Wildman

Valley of the Skookum

Words and Music by Lenny Green

There is a place, you may never find on any map,

Just a few know this place, and fewer still would tell you where it's at,

Hidden deep in the forests of the Northwest, it's a place where a legend comes alive,

and walks the night...

(Chorus): Take care, if you come to the Valley of the Skookum,

There's danger there, to those who don't know what they do,

Just beware, when you come to the Valley of the Skookum,

While you're wanderin' 'round trying to find a clue,

The truth is somewhere out there watching you.

I know this place, everything around's so green and still,

Often kissed by the rain, the forest reaches out to every hill,

Of the wild and living things who make their home there, only one can be compared to man,

But he's not man...

(Chorus)

Skookum is Chinook, it's the name the Indians gave this creature long ago,

And the word means "Big and strong" and "Mountain Devil," just to name a few,

So keep those words in mind, if you go tryin' to find him, you may wake up to learn that he's found you,

Chasin' after Skookum, may not be the smartest thing to do...

Now you may think, everything I've told you is a story,

A scary tale, to tell around the campfire when it's late,

Not everyone has got a taste for glory, are the wise, the ones who play it safe,

And not tempt fate...

(Chorus)

In the Valley of the Skookum!

Piney Woods Wildman

Words and Music by Lenny Green

In the eastern part of Texas there's a wild and lonely place,

Piney Woods is known far and wide,

Where most anything can come and go and never leave a trace,

The kind of place a myth might walk by,

From the Indians came the story of a tall and hairy beast, that wandered through the forest like a man,

And the settlers who had seen this creature walking on two feet, came up with the name, and the legend began,

And they called him the Piney Woods Wildman, hair-covered giant of the night,

And they say that the Piney Woods Wildman, can still be seen, when the East Texas moon is bright.

In the hidden lonely bayous, in the thickets and the swamps, the wildman still survives in this place,

And he's more than just a legend whether you believe or not, just ask the ones who've met him face-to-face,

Though he doesn't look for trouble and prefers to be unseen, no one takes him lightly if they're smart,

No man alive can equal him for power or for speed, if he had stats, they'd be off of the charts,

And he's known as the Piney Woods Wildman, hair-covered giant of the night,

And they say that the Piney Woods Wildman, can still be seen when the east Texas moon is bright.

They say he's really just a Bigfoot, I can't say what's right or wrong,

But do we want to call him Bigfoot, since he's been the Wildman so long?

It's early in the morning, a new day more or less, nothin' on your mind but gettin' home,

Your headlights have the highway, the moonlight has the rest, illuminating everything aglow,

Suddenly you're seeing something happening in the road, something that don't make a lot of sense,

The biggest man alive in a shaggy furry coat, just ran across the road and jumped the fence!

Don't you know it was Piney Woods Wildman, hair-covered giant of the night,

And they say that the Piney Woods Wildman, can still be seen when the east Texas moon is bright.
