Boatman
The boatman sits on his boat by the riverTry as he might, he cannot forgive herAs he watches the corpse turning blueHe laughsThe boatman he sits on his boat by the riverAnother grey corpse he pulls out before dinnerAnother sad life, another sad timeAnd he laughsThe boatman he sits on his boat by the riverNo name and address when he does deliverThe old ones, the worst ones, they tried and they failedHe laughsAnd the odor and stench,they once made him retchWell now he just sees them as mortal fleshAnd he laughsYes he laughsYes he laughsYes he laughsYes he laughsYes he laughs
