lyrics

My husband went to fight
That’s when you came to my side
You asked me for a drink, I gave you a glass of milk
Offered you my bed, said it was warm in there
My body is a weapon
But the best part was I had a hammer in my hand

Deborah told them about me
Said that they’d get no glory
Then she wrote a song about me
How I took a tent peg and drove it through his head
Into the dirty ground
How the blood poured out
But the best part was I’ll never have to see that face again
