Far, far in the mountain
In a village called Jammy Dee
Theres a statue of a man on the back of a tiger
And this is how it became to be
He's so famous, he's so brave
Thanks to him our lives our saved
the man who rode the tiger
But I know that secretly
He'd like to share the truth with me
The man who rode the tiger
In a distant country
A lonely village mourned
For the lives of the children
Those of theme not yet born
The hungry eyes have taken them
One more every day
So the hunter came one dark, dark night
And took our cubs away
He's so famous, he's so brave
Thanks to him our lives our saved
the man who rode the tiger
But I know that secretly
He'd like to share the truth with me
The man who rode the tiger
In the heart of the village
Is a man so brave and true
I'm going to save my children
If its the last thing that I do
So sharpen up my spear my friend
But don't polish up my gun
To kill would be a way my friend
But its not the way its done
He's so famous, he's so brave
Thanks to him our lives our saved
the man who rode the tiger
But I know that secretly
He'd like to share the truth with me
The man who rode the tiger
Deep deep in the jungle
The hunter did return
The cubs he'd stolen weeks before
The lesson he had learned
“Give me back my children, I'm sorry I attacked”
The villlage will forgive you, if you let me ride your back“
So the hunter returned the hero
On the back of the tiger
With all the children behind singing
La la la, La la la
He's so famous, he's so brave
Thanks to him our lives our saved
the man who rode the tiger
But I know that secretly
He'd like to share the truth with me
The man who rode the tiger
La la la, La la la
La la la, La la la\
