Through the jungle I went
Bent on shooting a Tiger, my intent
A Bengal Tiger has eaten my wife
No doubt, I will avenge my poor darling's life
Too much quiet, snakes, and leeches
But I do not fear these sons of beaches
Hearing a loud noise, I jump with a start
But the noise is coming from a fool's heart
Taking care not to be frightened
I clutch the rifle tight with my eye on sight
Should the Tiger come, I will shoot him down
Then return to my native town like a hero renowned
Through the trees, I spot a cave ahead
I tell myself, "Banerjee, be brave" in my stead
I proceed with much care and caution
From afar, I catch the scent of the Tiger's lair in motion
My legs shake, sweat pours, I start to pray
Thinking I will shoot the Tiger some other day
Turning around, I start to flee
But the Tiger gives a bloody roar, spotting me, a Bengali
Bounding from the cave like Pele on the field
I run shouting, "Kali Ma, where did you yield?"
Through the jungle, I keep running fast
With the Tiger on my tail, looming close at last
I tell myself, never again in my life
Will I take such a risk for my foolish wife!!!!
