lyrics

She was married in the summer
In the merry month of June
Look away boys look away
And her husband was a bastard
And he broke her arm in two
Look away boys Look away
He drank lager and the morning
And spirits late at night
Look away boys look away
When his team were losing
He came looking for a fight
Look away boys look away

Chorus

And she killed him in the autumn
When the leaves were turning brown
And she cut him into pieces
And she put him in the ground
But the worms they wouldn’t touch him
The earth it spat him out
That Bastard man of ruin
Damned without a doubt
That Bastard Man of Ruin
He was damned without a doubt

Now he burns in hellfire
And begs for sweet release
Look away boys look away
He needs his bride’s forgiveness
To gain a moment's peace
Look away boys look away
But he beat her heart to iron
And her soul to freezing ice
Look away boys Look away
She was as heartless as he made her
The product of his vice
Look away boys look away

Chorus

He’ll be a long time roasting
she’ll be longer healing still
Look away boys look away
But one day there’ll be someone
The void inside to fill
Look away boys look away
Mercy isn’t earned its a
A freely given boon
Look away boys look away
So he waits upon her pleasure
To receive his final doom

Chorus
