Wolfmare The Ballad Of Jolly Hangman
I enter the wake
Walls are red and cellar blake
Little work I have to make
With a fishwife bent to
I open a door
What I See? Another whore
With a grimy grinning brow
Let me play with you girl
-You scum!- I'm your tailor
Thread I brought and courteous'll make you
Stich to lip and stitch to other
You are silent. Cheerful rather!
Stitch by stitch but tongue is out
Hey, you calf, don't cry so loud
Use the scissors -What you do?-
Never'll be foul-mouthed you
I enter the wake
Walls are red and cellar blake
Little work I have to make
With a cutty bent to
I open a door
What I See? Another whore
With a grimy grinning brow
Let me play with you girl
-Hey lad?- I'm your lover
With my stake will pierce your cover
Let me plant you on the edge
Let me touch your lips with sledge
Please bend down and lift your skirt
Do not move, it's just absurd
Use that grampus -What you do?-
Never'll be so gorgeous you
I enter the wake
Walls are red and cellar blake
Little work I have to make
With a lady bent to
I open a door
What I See? Another whore
With a grimy grinning brow
Let me play with you girl
-Oh sir!- I'm your saviour
So said I and torch I gave her
Hands are tight so I have missed
So with fire she was kissed
Put your little hand in mine
Let me wipe tears with bine
Use that grip vice -What you do?-
Never'll be too mincing you
I went off the wake
Far off now cellar blake
As the evening pass the day
Coming home with pleasure
Jolly hangman
Jolly hangman
Jolly hangman
Toils all day
