Текст песни Unwed Henry (American Murder Song) с переводом

Cleaned his fingers with a knife

My darling

And went out dressing for a wife

Oh, my pretty darling

Silver songs swung from his belts

Dangling, tangling

He waded through the tusks and pelts

Oh, my pretty darling

Six he shot her with a wink

My darling

Sat her down beside his drink

Oh, my pretty darling

Her legs a kicking tyre swing

Dangling, tangling

Toes hung by a stocking string

Oh, my pretty darling

With tender blades he flowered her

My darling

Carved her in the balsam fir

Oh, my pretty darling

He drew the veils closed on her cheeks

Dangling, tangling

Married her down by the creek

Oh, my pretty darling

Winter bled into the spring

My darling

She caught its bruises in a sling

Oh, my pretty darling

He stumbled for the bottle’s edge

Dangling, tangling

She climbed up on the window ledge

Oh, my pretty darling

He found her in the wire fence

My darling

Dragged her through blood and silence

Oh, my pretty darling

Threw her body in the sink

Dangling, tangling

Poured himself another drink

Oh, my pretty darling

She woke in the faucet’s teeth

My darling

Swimming in the underneath

Oh, my pretty darling

He bathed her facedown as she thrust

Dangling, tangling

Swallowing the basin rust

Oh, my pretty darling

Beyond the thorns and strangled reeds

My darling

A wedding ring amongst the weeds

Oh, my pretty darling

Just a girl up on a tree

Dangling, tangling

Sit beside my drink and me

Oh, my pretty darling
