Half Hanged Mary |
Half Hanged Mary don’t mind the weather |
Birds of a feather gonna burn together |
You can cut her loose, but that’s okay |
She coming down anyway |
Not a witch before but sure one now |
Her tongue’ll look ya in the eye and lie ya out a vow |
Ain’t worried about fate, ain’t worried about sin |
Can’t make her afraid of dyin' again |
Blow, Blow |
Ladies who lunch stood around watchin' |
Counted on her to cover their debauchin' |
Tying her dress with a tattered sash |
Now her necklace is a ropey rash |
Had to put her down with them wickd rabies |
‘Fore she mad more black cat babies |
Can’t serve antiquated charms |
Please your countrymen with them marked up arms |
When you’re spookin' the cow, spillin' the hay |
Boilin' bedsores and forgettin' pray |
Blow, Blow |
Best beware of unbridled power |
Hell hath no fury like a baby shower |
Hate the plague that sure will get ya |
Put your church pew in absentia |
Maybe if Cotton coulda got a little higher |
Woulda turned out better for Mary Dyer |
Hell of a reason to sit around and fast |
Couple of kids just showin' they ass |
Better watch out, better lay low |
Half Hanged Mary gettin' ready to blow |
Blow, Blow |
Who gets to say how you make magic |
How the hell they know that heaven ain’t tragic |
Rife with those who are deceased |
There lies your wives and your daddy Increase |
Take the pain and lay on penance |
With a navel gazing run-on sentence |
Invisible things they want you to see |
Are the ones that paint them righteously |
Make ‘em holier than water, holier than rain |
Tell ya what is and what ain’t insane |
Blow, Blow |
Think through the trigger ‘fore you pull it |
No such thing as a silver bullet |
When you’re dealing with the devil and Pentacostin' |
Believe they let her off in Boston |
Better watch out, better lay low |
Half Hanged Mary gettin' ready to blow |
Stay on your side of the street |
Worry ‘bout the ground under your own feet |
Might find yourself danglin' by a ladder |
Makin' you nervous, what’s the matter |
Better watch out, better lay low |
Half Hanged Mary gettin' ready to blow |
