Richard Thompson - Auldie Riggs lyrics

Thompson My name is Auldie Riggs and I am a seaman, second rate I'll tell you quite a tale if you've got the price of a drink there, mate Do you recognize my face? The picture ran for a week or more When I left her lifeless body on the floor. I am a drunken sot, they threw me off a dozen crews My brain's begun to rot, I'm so beholden to the booze And I broke that Liza's neck, well I squeezed her till she breathed no more And I left her lifeless body on the floor. And I don't feel no sympathy And your disgust to me's the highest praise She had it coming, don't you know? 'Cause I got wise to all her little ways. who*es and b**hes, all are Riggs'es slaves. There's many I've dispatched, now tell me, was it 8 or 9? I throttled 'em, I stabbed 'em, dissolved 'em in a vat of lime I used to know the names but Liza was the last, the who*e And I left her lifeless body on the floor. And you won't get no remorse from me I'm happy as a kitten with the cream I did her and the others too I dare to do what some men only dream. How I love to hear that piercing scream. That Mary was a tramp, oh she used to give the boys a wink I took some souvenirs before I drowned her in the sink I kept her cheating heart and her pretty eyes which I did adore And left her lifeless body on the floor I left her lifeless body on the floor I left her lifeless body, her dirty cheating body I left her lifeless body on the floor.
