	作词 : Cave
	Well the night was deep and the night was dark
	And I was at the old dance-hall on the edge of town
	Some big ceremony was going down
	Dancers writhed and squirmed and then,
	Came apart and then writhed again
	Like squirming flies on a pin
	In the heat and in the din
	Yes, in the heat and in the din
	I fell to thinking about brand new wife of mad
	John Finn
	Well, midnite came and clock did strike
	And in she came, did
	John Finn's wife
	With legs like scissors and butcher's knives
	A tattooed breast and flaming eyes
	And a crimson carnation in her teeth
	Carving her way through the dance floor
	And I'm standing over by the bandstand
	Every eye gaping on
	John Finn's wife
	Yeah, every eye gaping on
	John Finn's wife
	Now John Finn's wife was something of a mystery
	In a town where to share a sworn secret was a solemn duty
	I had brass knuckles and a bolo knife
	Over near the bandstand with
	John Finn's wife
	She got perfumed breasts and raven hair
	Sprinkled with wedding confettis
	And a gang of garrotters were all giving me stares
	Armed, as they were, with machetes
	And the night through the window was full of lights
	Winking and awatching at
	John Finns' wife
	Winking and awatching at
	John Finns' wife
	Next came the cops, all out on the town
	But it don't look like no trouble there
	As they head for the bar in their lumpy suits
	And I slip my hand between the thighs of
	John Finn's wife
	And they seemed to yawn awake, her thighs
	It was a warm and very ferocious night
	The moon full of blood and light
	And my eyes grew small and my eyes grew tight
	As I plotted in the ear of
	John Finns' wife
	Enter John
	Finn in his shrunken suit
	With his quick black eyes and black cheroot
	With his filled-down teeth and a hobnail boot
	And his fists full of pistols in his pockets
	Aiming at me and aiming at his wife
	The band fall silent fearing for their lives
	And with fear in my guts like tangled twine
	Cause all
	I got is brass knuckles and a bolo knife
	And mad John
	Finns' wife is all
	And the three of us walk out of the hall
	Now the night bore down upon us all
	You could hear the crickets in the thickets call
	And guns did flare and guns did bawl
	And I planted my bolo knife in the neck
	Of mad John
	Finn. I took his wretched life
	Now I'm over near the bandstand
	Every hand moving on
	John Finns' wife
	Every hand moving on
	John Finns' wife
	And John Finns' wife
	Took all the flowers down
	From her hair
	And threw them on the ground
	And the flies did hum
	And the flies did buzz around
	Poor John
	Finn Lying dead upon the ground
	Lying dead upon the ground
