// Verse One
Once lived a man, high on a hill.
His wife and his children are livin there still;
he wasn't a man of maaany needs.
He worked so hard till the day that he was killed.
He moved to the town, where his mother was born.
He got on a train and his ticket was torn.
He found and he married the most beautiful girl.
But you better watch out she's an evil vain whore.
// Chorus One
And he said: no, no, no; can't be true.
They said: aw my god. Y'don't know what that woman can do.
// Bridge
// Verse Two
Look at her eyes; they're magic i swear.
Her wet country lips and her long brown hair.
The way she rolls her pants up when she's walking through the stream.
The way she holds a knife when she's slicing a pear.
And they said:
She might look perfect but she'll bring you grief.
She's done it before yeah, she's done it to me.
When she was young, she was left on the steps of a church.
But nobody would take her, not even the priest.
// Chorus Two
He said: no, no, no; it cannot be true.
But they said: aw my god. Y'don't know what that woman can do.
// Verse Three
On his birthday, on may the fifth;
his family gathered around the kitchen and they gave him a gift.
His children handed him a maaandolin
and he blew out the candles and she gave him one last kiss.
She said follow me and she took him to the bar,
tied him up with ropes around his arms.
she poured a bucket of gaasoooline
and she tossed her cigarette and ran, waited for the fire alarm.
// Chorus Three
And he screamed: No, no, no; Oh no it cant be true,
But I'm starting to believe oooOoo what this evil woman can do.
// Verse Four
Because you don't listen this is what you get.
She told everybody it was an accident.
But a couple of nights ago we all heard her confess,
to somebody in a bathroom while we listened through the vent
