[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]
