The Wife's Murder Ballad lyrics

Hello? Hello is anybody out there? Please, someone help my husband's fallen and he won't get up I don't know what happened One moment he was fine and then the next Oh please say you can save him He was my everything and I just I I don't know what to do without him I'd said that I'm a patient woman Forgiving most of the time But I'm sat drawing lines on the walls With a large glass of wine Marks spider web through the room Leashing my neck in their lace But I've heard tell of a way to escape And it don't leave a trace Such confidence for someone whose very rude Funny you feel safe When you're showing me attitude Shackle me down to the butcher block And then expect gratitude Love don't you know not to bite the hand that feeds you Lover you don't look too well Eat up and save your health Come now sit by my side Forgive me I just thought a man could handle A little bit of spice I've been told is the hottest new craze People beg, borrow, steal And you've been weaving my pretty ropes all night You deserve a good meal A tough sell but I bought some last night From the widow next door She said her husband loved it so much He passed out on the floor Such confidence for someone whose very rude Funny you feel safe When you're showing me attitude Shackle me down to the butcher block And then expect gratitude Love don't you know not to bite the hand I often wonder if my body is see through 'Cause no matter how hard I try All they ever see is you I can scream, and cry, and throw a fit And wild guess what they do?
