I got a woman
SHe rules my house with an iron fist
I got a woman
She rules my house with an iron fist
She screams out Jack the Ripper

I went out walking the other day
The wind hung wet around my neck
My head it rung with screams and groans
From the night I spent amongst her bones

Well the night was deep and the night was dark
And I was at the old dance-hall on the edge of town
Some big ceremony was going down

I stood in the water
In the middle month of winter
My camel skin was torture
I was in a state of nature
The wind, sir, it was wicked
I was so alone
Just as I predicted
My followers were gone

And I cried `Mercy'
Have mercy upon me
And I got down on my knees

Thrown into a dungeon
Bread and water was my portion
Faith - my only weapon
To rest the devil's legion
The speak-hole would slide open
