The Woman Upstairs |
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 |
