Unwed Henry Lyrics by American Murder Song

Murder Ballads of 1816: The Year Without a Summer

2016

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
