The Wife's Murder Ballad

Lydia the Bard

Hello?
Hello is anybody out there?
Please, someone help my husband's fallen and he won't get up
I don't know what happened
One moment he was fine and then the next
Oh please say you can save him
He was my everything and I just
I
I don't know what to do without him

I'd said that I'm a patient woman
Forgiving most of the time
But I'm sat drawing lines on the walls
With a large glass of wine
Marks spider web through the room
Leashing my neck in their lace
But I've heard tell of a way to escape
And it don't leave a trace

Such confidence for someone whose very rude
Funny you feel safe
When you're showing me attitude
Shackle me down to the butcher block
And then expect gratitude
Love don't you know not to bite the hand that feeds you

Lover you don't look too well
Eat up and save your health
Come now sit by my side
Forgive me I just thought a man could handle
A little bit of spice

I've been told is the hottest new craze
People beg, borrow, steal
And you've been weaving my pretty ropes all night
You deserve a good meal
A tough sell but I bought some last night
From the widow next door
She said her husband loved it so much
He passed out on the floor

Such confidence for someone whose very rude
Funny you feel safe
When you're showing me attitude
Shackle me down to the butcher block
And then expect gratitude
Love don't you know not to bite the hand

I often wonder if my body is see through
'Cause no matter how hard I try
All they ever see is you
I can scream, and cry, and throw a fit
And wild guess what they do?
They ask the question of my state
To you, to you, to you

Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah (ah)

Lover you don't look too well
I said to take care of your health
Looks like the end of the line
Forgive me I just can't abide the thought that
I'm a locked up bride for life

Lover you don't look too well (too well)
Eat up and save your health (save your health)
Come now sit by my side
Forgive me I just thought a man could handle
A little cyanide
