|
'Twas with no surprise I could feel his eyes |
|
A-comin' straight through the back of my head |
|
So I took my flight by the pale moonlight |
|
No instinct to guide me, I fled |
|
"If I catch you still with my wife I'll kill you, boy" |
|
That's what he told me before |
|
I didn't pay no heed cause she said I'd need |
|
So I kept going back there for more |
|
Look out behind you, all right |
|
If you don't leave it alone |
|
He's gonna hound you all night |
|
Said slow down boy and they'll carry you home |
|
There could be no way I was going to stay |
|
With a man like that on my heel |
|
He was six foot four and could eat a door |
|
And his fists were like great blocks of steel |
|
But his wife was rude and it seemed so good |
|
To have fun while he was away |
|
While he lived in hope of the sale of soap |
|
Like the cat and the mouse we would play |
|
Look out behind you, all right |
|
If you don't leave it alone |
|
He's gonna hound you all night |
|
Said slow down boy and they'll carry you home |
|
It was late that night when he came inside |
|
I could see through the glass by the door |
|
For his key had stuck and I praised my luck |
|
As I dived from the bed to the floor |
|
When I heard him yell like a bat from hell |
|
I was out enough down the road |
|
Twas with no surprise I could feel his eyes |
|
And imagine the gun that he'd load |
|
Right up behind me all right |
|
Cos I couldn't leave it alone |
|
He will hound me all night |
|
Said, slow down boy and they'll carry you home |
