HALF HANGED MARY
As recorded by Elizabth Cook
(From the 2020 Album AFTERMATH)
[Intro]
B7 E B7 E
B7 E B7 E
[Verse 1]
B7
Half Hanged Mary don’t mind the weather
E
Birds of a feather gonna burn together
B7
You can cut her loose, but that’s okay
E
She coming down anyway
B7
Not a witch before but sure one now
E
Her tongue’ll look ya in the eye and lie ya out a vow
B7
Ain’t worried about fate, ain’t worried about sin
E
Can’t make her afraid of dyin’ again
C# E
Blow, blow
[Verse 2]
B7
Ladies who lunch stood around watchin’
E
Counted on her to cover their debauchin’
B7
Tying her dress with a tattered sash
E
Now her necklace is a ropey rash
B7
Had to put her down with them wicked rabies
E
‘Fore she made more black cat babies
B7
Can’t serve antiquated charms
E
Please your countrymen with them marked up arms
B7
When you’re spookin’ the cow, spillin’ the hay
E
Boilin’ bedsores and forgettin’ pray
C# E
Blow, blow
[Verse 3]
B7
Best beware of unbridled power
