Dire Wolf (Live at the Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, October 11, 1980)

[Verse 1]
In the timbers of Fennario
The wolves are running 'round
The winter was so hard and cold
Froze ten feet 'neath the ground

[Chorus]
Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please don't murder me

[Verse 2]
I sat down to supper
'Twas a bottle of red whiskey
I said my prayers and went to bed
That's the last they saw of me

[Chorus]
Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please don't murder me

[Verse 3]
When I awoke, thе dire wolf
Six hundred pounds of sin
Was grinning at my window
All I said was "Come on in"

[Chorus]
Don't murdеr me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please don't murder me

[Verse 4]
The wolf came in, I got my cards
We sat down for a game
I cut my deck to the queen of spades
But the cards were all the same

[Chorus]
Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please don't murder me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
In the back-wash of Fennario
The black and bloody mire
The dire wolf collects his due
While the boys sing 'round the fire

[Chorus]
Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please don't murder me
Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please don't murder me

[Outro]
Please don't murder me
