Abattoirs of Love |
| I put my back against an oak |
| Thinking it was some trusty tree |
| But first it bent and then it broke |
| And so did my false love, to me |
| I put my hand into a bush |
| Thinking some sweetest flower to find |
| I pricked my finger to the bone |
| Leaving the sweetest flower behind |
| Oh, meeting is a pleasure |
| And parting is a grief |
| But an unconstant lover is worse than any theif |
| A thief would all but rob you |
| And take all that you had saved |
| But an unconstant lover will bring you to the grave |
| The grave it will decay you |
| And turn you into dust |
| There’s not one in a thousand that you can trust |
| They’ll kiss you and they’ll court you |
| And tell to you more lies |
| As the hairs upon your head laugh |
| Or the stars in the skies |
| Come all you young lovers |
| A warning take by me Don’t place your affection on a green willow tree |
| For the leaves, they will wither |
| The branches will decay |
| And all your poor love will soon fall away |
| We hung upon a hook, cut me to the bone |
| Froze me with a kiss, laid upon your throne |
| In the abattoirs of love |
| In the abattoirs of love |
| You’re in the serpent’s jaws, love chains you to the floor |
| Like fools you climbed so high, it’s further then to fall |
| In the abattoirs of love |
| Love’s a game for fools, for fools |
| Love’s a game for fools… |
