[00:14.63]It was late last night when the boss came home
[00:18.13]To a deserted mansion and a desolate throne
[00:21.06]
[00:21.75]Servant said: "Boss, the lady's gone
[00:24.44]
[00:25.25]She left this morning just 'fore dawn."
[00:28.94]
[00:32.25]"You got something to tell me, tell it to me, man
[00:35.94]Come to the point as straight as you can"
[00:39.51]"Old Henry Lee, chief of the clan
[00:42.38]
[00:43.00]Came riding through the woods and took her by the hand"
[00:47.40]
[00:50.34]The boss he lay back flat on his bed
[00:53.02]
[00:53.65]He cursed the heat and he clutched his head
[00:56.58]
[00:57.21]He pondered the future of his fate
[00:59.84]
[01:00.77]To wait another day would be far too late
[01:04.16]
[01:07.97]"Go fetch me my coat and my tie
[01:11.41]And the cheapest labour that money can buy
[01:14.41]
[01:15.04]Saddle me up my buckskin mare
[01:17.79]
[01:18.54]If you see me go by, put up a prayer"
[01:22.54]
[01:25.66]Well, they rode all night, and they rode all day
[01:28.47]
[01:29.35]Eastward, long down the broad highway
[01:32.78]His spirit was tired and his vision was bent
[01:35.72]
[01:36.28]His men deserted him and onward he went
[01:39.16]
[01:43.60]He came to a place where the light was dull
[01:46.28]
[01:47.03]His forehead pounding in his skull
[01:49.66]
[01:50.60]Heavy heart was racked with pain
[01:53.22]
[01:54.03]Insomnia raging in his brain
[01:56.78]
[02:01.22]Well, he threw down his helmet and his cross-handled sword
[02:04.78]He renounced his faith, he denied his lord
[02:07.53]
[02:08.60]Crawled on his belly, put his ear to the wall
[02:11.97]One way or another put an end to it all
[02:14.72]
[02:19.66]He leaned down, cut the electric wire
[02:21.66]
[02:22.41]Stared into the flames and he snorted the fire
[02:25.53]
[02:26.22]Peered through the darkness, caught a glimpse of the two
[02:29.72]It was hard to tell for certain who was who
[02:32.59]
[02:36.91]He lowered himself down on a golden chain
[02:39.53]
[02:40.34]His nerves were quaking in every vein
[02:43.10]
[02:43.97]His knuckles were bloody, he sucked in the air
[02:46.96]
[02:47.53]He ran his fingers through his greasy hair
[02:50.22]
[02:54.73]They looked at each other and their glasses clinked
[02:57.36]
[02:58.05]One single unit, inseparably linked
[03:00.98]
[03:01.61]"Got a strange premonition there's a man close by"
[03:05.48]"Don't worry about him, he wouldn't harm a fly"
[03:08.92]
[03:12.36]From behind the curtain, the boss he crossed the floor
[03:15.17]
[03:15.67]He moved his feet and he bolted the door
[03:18.67]
[03:19.48]Shadows hiding the lines in his face
[03:22.30]
[03:23.05]With all the nobility of an ancient race
[03:25.73]
[03:30.29]She turned, she was startled with a look of surprise
[03:32.86]
[03:33.61]With a hatred that could hit the skies
[03:36.23]
[03:37.17]"You're a reckless fool, I could see it in your eyes
[03:40.86]To come this way was by no means wise"
[03:44.60]
[03:48.29]"Get up, stand up, you greedy-lipped wench
[03:50.99]
[03:51.54]And cover your face or suffer the consequence
[03:53.92]
[03:54.98]You are making my heart feel sick
[03:58.48]Put your clothes back on, double-quick"
[04:01.85]
[04:05.80]"Silly boy, you think me a saint
[04:08.56]
[04:09.30]I'll listen no more to your words of complaint
[04:12.18]
[04:12.93]You've given me nothing but the sweetest lies
[04:15.56]
[04:16.56]Now hold your tongue and feed your eyes"
[04:20.37]
[04:23.43]"I'd have given you the stars and the planets, too
[04:26.37]
[04:26.99]But what good would these things do you?
[04:29.93]
[04:30.62]Bow the heart if not the knee
[04:33.68]
[04:34.43]Or never again this world you'll see"
[04:37.68]
[04:41.24]"Oh, please let not your heart be cold
[04:43.93]
[04:44.68]This man is dearer to me than gold"
[04:48.49]"Oh, my dear, you must be blind
[04:51.05]
[04:51.87]He's a gutless ape with a worthless mind"
[04:55.56]
[04:59.06]"You've had your way too long with me
[05:01.80]
[05:02.55]Now it's me who'll determine how things shall be"
[05:06.18]"Try to escape," he cussed and cursed
[05:08.99]
[05:09.74]'You'll have to try to get past me first"
[05:13.30]
[05:16.99]"Do not let your passion rule
[05:19.49]
[05:20.37]You think my heart the heart of a fool
[05:23.30]
[05:23.99]And you, sir, you can not deny
[05:26.55]
[05:27.24]You made a monkey of me, what and for why?"
[05:31.11]
[05:34.61]"I'll have no more of this insulting chat
[05:37.49]
[05:38.18]The devil can have you, I'll see to that
[05:41.24]
[05:41.93]Look sharp or step aside
[05:44.61]
[05:45.36]Or in the cradle you'll wish you'd died"
[05:48.99]
[05:52.61]The gun went boom and the shot rang clear
[05:55.36]
[05:55.93]First bullet grazed his ear
[05:58.92]
[05:59.74]Second ball went right straight in
[06:02.99]And he bent in the middle like a twisted pin
[06:05.93]
[06:10.30]He crawled to the corner and he lowered his head
[06:13.05]
[06:13.55]He gripped the chair and he grabbed the bed
[06:16.62]
[06:17.49]It would take more than needle and thread
[06:20.11]
[06:20.86]Bleeding from the mouth, he's as good as dead
[06:23.61]
[06:27.87]"You shot my husband down, you fiend"
[06:31.55]"Husband? What husband? What the hell do you mean?
[06:34.74]He was a man of strife, a man of sin
[06:37.92]
[06:38.61]I cut him down and threw him to the wind"
[06:42.61]
[06:49.30]This she said with angry breath
[06:52.61]"You too shall meet the lord of death
[06:55.73]
[06:56.30]It was I who brought your soul to life"
[07:00.05]Then she raised her robe and she drew out a knife
[07:03.17]
[07:07.05]His face was hard and caked with sweat
[07:09.67]
[07:10.54]His arms ached and his hands were wet
[07:13.48]"You're a murderous queen and a bloody wife
[07:16.86]
[07:17.61]If you don't mind, I'll have the knife"
[07:21.24]
[07:25.05]"We're two of a kind and our blood runs hot
[07:28.30]But we're no way similar in body or thought
[07:31.11]
[07:31.73]All husbands are good men, as all wives know"
[07:35.36]Then she pierced him to the heart and his blood did flow
[07:38.67]
[07:42.80]His knees went limp and he reached for the door
[07:46.04]His tomb was sealed, he slid to the floor
[07:49.04]
[07:49.85]He whispered in her ear: "This is all your fault
[07:52.54]
[07:53.30]My fighting days have come to a halt"
[07:56.98]
[08:00.54]She touched his lips and kissed his cheek
[08:03.11]
[08:03.98]He tried to speak but his breath was weak
[08:06.79]
[08:07.55]"You died for me, now I'll die for you"
[08:10.73]She put the blade to her heart and she ran it through
[08:14.11]
[08:18.60]All three lovers together in a heap
[08:20.79]
[08:21.67]Thrown into the grave, forever to sleep
[08:24.48]
[08:25.36]Funeral torches blazed away
[08:28.04]
[08:28.92]Through the towns and the villages all night and all day
[08:33.21]
[08:33.78]
