letra de jolly executioner - the rumjacks
it said his blade weighed half a tonne
o’ spanish steel, christ how it shone
with a whistle & thump yer dash were done
and the axe cared not for who you were
he kept a cell below the tower
where he signed the cross every half an hour
with a calf skin drum & a rattle tat taa
the jolly executioner
he had a son, a drunken sailor
coulda been a tinker, tyke, or tailor
sailed away to far australia
to be the executioner
his rope were short, his knots were tight
he’d plait the hemp by candle light
with a crack & tw-ng ye bade goodnight
to the jolly executioner
string em high & stretch em well
burn a candle, strike a bell
pipe their rotten souls to h-ll
for the jolly executioner
then some bloke with a kite & key
invented electricity
and the job were handed down to me
so fortunate you wish you were
i’ve cooked em all, the crooks & crumbs
the vagabonds & hapless bums
with a crackle & pop, ‘ol’ sparky’ sung
for the jolly executioner
i had a son, near broke me heart
a stand alone, a breed apart
brought death unto a dying art
a general pract-tioner
all white lab coats & phd’s
and 10cc’s of anti-freeze
a n0ble art brought to its knees
farewell to the executioner
