letra de the ballad of the butcher and the bookbinder's wife - the witches of elswick
in byker town there lived a butcher
and he had five handsome sons;
he’d a beautiful wife caused him no strife
and he cherished them everyone
his days were filled with laughter and love
till one day he took a stroll
and there he spied the bookbinder’s wife
and l-st it did take hold
chorus:
beware the arms of another’s lady
beware the arms of anothеr’s wife!
well this fair lady she was еager
by his strong arms she was enthralled
and she’d a smile about her features
that surely did say it all
and they walked down all by the ouseburn
and they drank more than most
when the bookbind save them kissing
and he was pale as any ghost
(chorus)
he had heard tell of four young witches
who could help with his distress
he found them by the cumberland alehouse
and with his problem he did them press
though we harm none we have the power
to counsel you in your grief
here is a book that you bound for us
the spells and potions of our belief
(chorus)
the butcher’s sons were all out drinking
when one fell on a broken glass;
he bled to death with his brothers watching
all for his father’s love of a lass
the second son went out a-walking
stumbled into a tunnel dark;
he stepped inside, doors slammed behind him
he was trapped and there he starved
the butcher’s third son while out a-courting
walked his lady down by the stream;
he bowed down to her and fell in backwards
swans pecked out his eyes so green
and then the fourth son went out hunting
rested up by a shady beck;
as he lay sleeping a beast came creeping
and sunk his t–th deep into his neck
now the fifth son was a dancer
he went to dance on yon high hill;
he stepped his foot in a pool of water
a fork of lightning did him k!ll
(chorus)
the butcher, driven mad with sorrow
jumped off a bridge into a stream
a pack of rats ate his flesh and features
l!cking each and every bone clean
so any man who takes a notion
to indulge with another’s maid:
think of the bookbinder’s evil potions
and the vengeance that he displayed
(3× chorus)
