Oh Coal Black Smith Lyrics

Oh she looked out of the window

As white as any milk

But he looked into the window

As black as any silk

Hello, hello, hello, hello

Hello you coal black smith

Oh what is your silly song?

You shall never change my maiden name

That I have kept so long

I'd rather die a maid yes

But then she said

And be buried in my grave yes

And then she said

That I'd have such a nasty

Husky dusky musty funky

Coal black smith

A maiden will I die

Then she became a duck

A duck all on the stream

And he became a water dog

And fetched her back again

Then she became a hareCurrent 93 - Oh Coal Black Smith - http://motolyrics.com/current-93/oh-coal-black-smith-lyrics.html

A hare all on the plain

And he became a greyhound dog

And fetched her back again

Then she became a fly

A fly all in the air

And he became a spider

And fetched her to his lair

Man is a beast of prey

The beast of prey conquers contries

Founds great realms by subdigation of other subdigators

Forms states and organises civilisations in order to enjoy his brooding in peace

Attack and defence

Suffering and struggle

Victory and defeat

Domination and servitude

All sealed with blood

This is the entire history of human race

And she became a corpse

A corpse all in the ground

And he became the cold grey clay

And smothered her all around
