| [00:14.43] |
It was late last night when the boss came home |
| [00:18.11] |
To wander early his mansion and a desolate throne |
| [00:21.73] |
Servant said boss the ladies gone |
| [00:25.03] |
She left this morning just before dawn |
| [00:28.83] |
|
| [00:32.20] |
You got something to tell me, tell it to me man |
| [00:35.65] |
Come to the point as straight as you can |
| [00:39.27] |
Old henry lee chief of the clan |
| [00:42.73] |
Came riding through the woods and took her by the hand |
| [00:46.89] |
|
| [00:50.11] |
The boss he lay back flat on his bed |
| [00:53.35] |
He cursed the heat and he clutched his head |
| [00:56.88] |
He pondered the future of his fate |
| [01:00.53] |
To wait another day would be far too late |
| [01:04.32] |
|
| [01:08.03] |
Go fetch me my coat and my tie |
| [01:11.17] |
And the cheapest labour that money can buy |
| [01:14.77] |
Saddle me up my buckskin mare |
| [01:18.35] |
If you see me go by put up a prayer |
| [01:22.40] |
|
| [01:25.72] |
Well they rode all night and they rode all day |
| [01:29.13] |
Eastward long on the broad highway |
| [01:32.61] |
His spirit was tired and his vision was bent |
| [01:36.28] |
His men deserted him and onward he went |
| [01:39.95] |
|
| [01:43.14] |
He came to a place where the land was dull |
| [01:47.00] |
His poor head pounding in his skull |
| [01:50.24] |
Heavy heart was racked with pain |
| [01:53.91] |
Insomnia raging in his brain |
| [01:57.92] |
|
| [02:01.27] |
Well he threw down his helmet and his cross handle sword |
| [02:04.63] |
He renounced his faith he denied his lord |
| [02:08.27] |
Crawled on his belly put his ear to the wall |
| [02:11.63] |
One way or another put an end to it all |
| [02:15.94] |
|
| [02:19.20] |
He leaned down cut the electric wire |
| [02:22.55] |
Stared into the flames and he snorted the fire |
| [02:26.22] |
Peered through the darkness caught a glimpse of the two |
| [02:29.76] |
Hard to tell for certain who was who |
| [02:33.48] |
|
| [02:36.85] |
He lowered himself down on a golden chain |
| [02:40.44] |
His nerves were quickening every vein |
| [02:43.86] |
His knuckles were bloody he sucked in the air |
| [02:47.25] |
He ran his fingers through his greasy hair |
| [02:51.43] |
|
| [02:54.71] |
They looked at each other and their glasses clinked |
| [02:57.99] |
One single unit inseparably linked |
| [03:01.51] |
Got a strange premonition there's a man close by |
| [03:05.23] |
Don't worry about him he wouldn't harm a fly |
| [03:09.20] |
|
| [03:12.44] |
From behind the curtain the boss crossed the floor |
| [03:15.90] |
He moved his feet and he bolted the door |
| [03:19.42] |
Shadows hiding the lines in his face |
| [03:22.75] |
With all the nobility of an ancient race |
| [03:27.11] |
|
| [03:30.16] |
She turned she was startled by a look of surprise |
| [03:33.60] |
With the hatred that could hit the skies |
| [03:36.98] |
You're a reckless fool I could see it in your eyes |
| [03:40.54] |
To come this way was by no means wise |
| [03:45.24] |
|
| [03:48.39] |
Get up stand up you greedy lipped wench |
| [03:51.47] |
And cover your face with some other consequence |
| [03:54.81] |
You are making my heart feel sick |
| [03:58.27] |
Put your clothes on double quick |
| [04:02.20] |
|
| [04:05.84] |
Sill boy you think me a saint |
| [04:08.96] |
To listen no more to your words of complaint |
| [04:12.67] |
You've given me nothing but the sweetest lies |
| [04:16.36] |
Now hold your tongue and feed your eyes |
| [04:20.40] |
|
| [04:23.47] |
Id have given you the stars and the planets too |
| [04:27.02] |
What good are these things to you |
| [04:30.47] |
By the heart if not the knee |
| [04:33.83] |
Or never again this world you see |
| [04:39.19] |
|
| [04:41.18] |
Oh please let not your heart be cold |
| [04:44.51] |
This man is dearer to me than gold |
| [04:48.09] |
Oh my dear you must be blind |
| [04:51.60] |
He's a gutless ape with a worthless mind |
| [04:56.07] |
|
| [04:58.98] |
You've had your way too long with me |
| [05:02.34] |
Now its me who will determine how things will be |
| [05:05.94] |
Tried to escape he cussed and cursed |
| [05:09.45] |
You'll have to try get passed me first |
| [05:13.56] |
|
| [05:17.00] |
I dared not let your passion rule |
| [05:20.19] |
You think my heart the heart of a fool |
| [05:23.84] |
And you sir you can not deny |
| [05:27.16] |
You made a monkey of me for what and for why |
| [05:31.16] |
|
| [05:34.54] |
Ill have no more of this insulting chat |
| [05:38.05] |
The devil can have you I'll see to that |
| [05:41.62] |
Look sharp or step aside |
| [05:45.06] |
Or in the cradle you'll wish you died |
| [05:49.68] |
|
| [05:52.48] |
The gun went boom and the shot rang clear |
| [05:55.67] |
The first bullet grazed his ear |
| [05:59.68] |
Second ball went right straight in |
| [06:02.82] |
And he bent in the middle like a twisted bin |
| [06:07.10] |
|
| [06:09.96] |
He crawled to the corner and he lowered his head |
| [06:13.41] |
He grabbed the chair and he grabbed the bed |
| [06:18.08] |
It would take more than needle and thread |
| [06:21.52] |
Bleeding from the mouth he's as good as dead |
| [06:25.49] |
|
| [06:28.60] |
You shot my husband down you fiend |
| [06:32.22] |
Husband what, husband what the hell do you mean |
| [06:35.47] |
He was man of strife a man of sin |
| [06:38.87] |
I cut him down and I throw him to the wind |
| [06:43.10] |
|
| [06:49.08] |
Hear this she said with angry breath |
| [06:52.32] |
You too shall meet the lord of death |
| [06:55.49] |
It was I who brought your soul to life |
| [06:59.20] |
And she raised her robe and she drew out a knife |
| [07:03.07] |
|
| [07:06.66] |
His face was hard and caked with sweat |
| [07:10.25] |
His arms ached and his hands were wet |
| [07:13.76] |
You're a murderous woman and bloody wife |
| [07:17.18] |
If you don't mind ill have the knife |
| [07:21.47] |
|
| [07:24.63] |
We're two of a kind and our blood runs hot |
| [07:27.95] |
But we're no way similar in body or thought |
| [07:31.14] |
All husbands are good men is all I knew |
| [07:34.68] |
Then she pierced him to the heart and his blood did flow |
| [07:39.01] |
|
| [07:42.41] |
His knees went limp and he reached for the door |
| [07:45.76] |
His doom was sealed he slipped to the floor |
| [07:49.17] |
He whispered in her ear this is all your fault |
| [07:52.82] |
My fighting days have come to a halt |
| [07:56.93] |
|
| [08:00.14] |
She touched his lips and kissed his cheek |
| [08:03.44] |
He tried to speak but his breath was weak |
| [08:07.02] |
You die for me I will die for you |
| [08:10.50] |
She put the blade to her heart and she ran it though |
| [08:14.43] |
|
| [08:17.66] |
All three lovers together in a heap |
| [08:21.17] |
Thrown into the grave forever to sleep |
| [08:24.80] |
Funeral torches blazed away |
| [08:28.43] |
Through the towns and the villages all night and all day |
| [08:34.79] |
|
