American Murder Song
Unwed Henry
Cleaned his fingers with a knifeMy darlingAnd went out dressing for a wifeOh, my pretty darlingSilver songs swung from his beltsDangling, tanglingHe waded through the tusks and peltsOh, my pretty darlingSix he shot her with a winkMy darlingSat her down beside his drinkOh, my pretty darlingHer legs a kicking tyre swingDangling, tanglingToes hung by a stocking stringOh, my pretty darlingWith tender blades he flowered herMy darlingCarved her in the balsam firOh, my pretty darlingHe drew the veils closed on her cheeksDangling, tanglingMarried her down by the creekOh, my pretty darlingLetras de cancionesWinter bled into the springMy darlingShe caught its bruises in a sling Oh, my pretty darlingHe stumbled for the bottles edgeDangling, tanglingShe climbed upon the window ledgeOh, my pretty darlingHe found her in the wire fenceMy darlingDragged her through blood and silenceOh, my pretty darlingThrew her body in the sinkDangling, tanglingPoured himself another drinkOh, my pretty darlingShe woke in the faucet's teethMy darlingSwimming in the underneathOh, my pretty darlingHe bathed her facedown as she thrustDangling, tanglingSwallowing the basin rustOh, my pretty darlingBeyond the thorns and strangled reedsMy darlingA wedding ring amongst the weedsOh, my pretty darling"Just a girl up on a tree."Dangling, tangling"Sit beside my drink and me."Oh, my pretty darling
