lyrics

Hacksaw Harry caught hell and hanging
Clanging pipes and rigging banging
waving water and the full moon waning
he prays to guiltless metal

Morbid Mary didn't bleed in June
Sin's tune sung by the checkered loon
"A cutter" since ten the boys never did swoon
til Hacksaw took her swimming

Hacksaw never pushed her head down
like all the other boys in town
and when Mary's momma was not around
he'd build her castles in the cold ground

And now the sailors are back in town
wanted to pass Morbid Mary around
But this time Hacksaw stood his ground
Cut three of them down

and they wrapped the rope around
and his feet they left the ground...

well I'm twenty years old now

You killed my father
and you shamed my mother
and there is no other
to pull me through
so mark the bad in the good of you
and pray it's gone 'fore I'm through with you,
even God will not know what to do with you
in the state I leave you in
your sin
