歌曲歌詞
She had a chalk white face and dandelion hair
T'was a wisp of a woman
who lived in the tenement upstairs
Where the walls were so thin
You could hear her bleedin'
He was mountain of a man
that stunk o' Brewdog ale
With a fist
he swung like a curved claw hammer on a nail
With all of his might
Most every night
Then it came one day on a cold day in July
A time to choose to either live or die
Like a low hung fruit sprung from the Tree of Life
Yeah the moment had arrived
As he wrapped his hands around her throat
Before the kitchen lights went dark
She took hold of the butcher knife
And she drove it into his heart
She drove it into his heart
Soon the police came and they laid her in cuffs
Threw her in the back of a black
and white and sure enough
They locked her away
And there she would stay
Until such time her case was assigned
To a public defender
who had ten other trials on his mind
Thus the verdict was in
Before a word was spoken
So it came one day on a cold day in July
A time to choose to either live or die
Like a low hung fruit sprung from the Tree of Life
Yeah the moment had arrived
As I heard her shout No way no how
No more blood and tears will I shed
And then there came that terrible silence
And that mountain of a man was dead
And that mountain of a man was dead
She weren't no newsworthy face no lady fair
Just a hard luck woman
livin' in the tenement upstairs
Who by a jury of her peers
Got twenty five years
