- to wander early his mansion and a desolate throne
- servant said boss the ladies gone
- she left this morning just before dawn
- you got something to tell me, tell it to me man
- come to the point as straight as you can
- old henry lee chief of the clan
- came riding through the woods and took her by the hand
- the boss he lay back flat on his bed
- he cursed the heat and he clutched his head
- he pondered the future of his fate
- to wait another day would be far too late
- go fetch me my coat and my tie
- and the cheapest labour that money can buy
- saddle me up my buckskin mare
- if you see me go by put up a prayer
- well they rode all night and they rode all day
- eastward long on the broad highway
- his spirit was tired and his vision was bent
- his men deserted him and onward he went
- he came to a place where the land was dull
- his poor head pounding in his skull
- heavy heart was racked with pain
- insomnia raging in his brain
- well he threw down his helmet and his cross handle sword
- he renounced his faith he denied his lord
- crawled on his belly put his ear to the wall
- one way or another put an end to it all
- he leaned down cut the electric wire
- stared into the flames and he snorted the fire
- peered through the darkness caught a glimpse of the two
- hard to tell for certain who was who
- he lowered himself down on a golden chain
- his nerves were quickening every vein
- his knuckles were bloody he sucked in the air
- he ran his fingers through his greasy hair
- they looked at each other and their glasses clinked
- one single unit inseparably linked
- got a strange premonition there's a man close by
- don't worry about him he wouldn't harm a fly
- from behind the curtain the boss crossed the floor
- he moved his feet and he bolted the door
- shadows hiding the lines in his face
- with all the nobility of an ancient race
- she turned she was startled by a look of surprise
- with the hatred that could hit the skies
- you're a reckless fool i could see it in your eyes
- to come this way was by no means wise
- get up stand up you greedy lipped wench
- and cover your face with some other consequence
- you are making my heart feel sick
- put your clothes on double quick
- sill boy you think me a saint
- to listen no more to your words of complaint
- you've given me nothing but the sweetest lies
- now hold your tongue and feed your eyes
- id have given you the stars and the planets too
- what good are these things to you
- by the heart if not the knee
- or never again this world you see
- oh please let not your heart be cold
- this man is dearer to me than gold
- oh my dear you must be blind
- he's a gutless ape with a worthless mind
- you've had your way too long with me
- now its me who will determine how things will be
- tried to escape he cussed and cursed
- you'll have to try get passed me first
- i dared not let your passion rule
- you think my heart the heart of a fool
- and you sir you can not deny
- you made a monkey of me for what and for why
- ill have no more of this insulting chat
- the devil can have you i'll see to that
- look sharp or step aside
- or in the cradle you'll wish you died
- the gun went boom and the shot rang clear
- the first bullet grazed his ear
- second ball went right straight in
- and he bent in the middle like a twisted bin
- he crawled to the corner and he lowered his head
- he grabbed the chair and he grabbed the bed
- it would take more than needle and thread
- bleeding from the mouth he's as good as dead
- you shot my husband down you fiend
- husband what, husband what the hell do you mean
- he was man of strife a man of sin
- i cut him down and i throw him to the wind
- hear this she said with angry breath
- you too shall meet the lord of death
- it was i who brought your soul to life
- and she raised her robe and she drew out a knife
- his face was hard and caked with sweat
- his arms ached and his hands were wet
- you're a murderous woman and bloody wife
- if you don't mind ill have the knife
- we're two of a kind and our blood runs hot
- but we're no way similar in body or thought
- all husbands are good men is all i knew
- then she pierced him to the heart and his blood did flow
- his knees went limp and he reached for the door
- his doom was sealed he slipped to the floor
- he whispered in her ear this is all your fault
- my fighting days have come to a halt
- she touched his lips and kissed his cheek
- he tried to speak but his breath was weak
- you die for me i will die for you
- she put the blade to her heart and she ran it though
- all three lovers together in a heap
- thrown into the grave forever to sleep
- funeral torches blazed away
- through the towns and the villages all night and all day
