Scotty Morris - Unwed Henry lyrics

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
