Jack the Ripper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a woman
She rules my house with an iron fist
I got a woman
She rules my house with an iron fist
She screams out Jack the Ripper
Every time I try to give that girl a kiss
[Verse 2]
Well, I got a woman
She strikes me down with a fist of lead
Oh yeah, well, I got a woman
She strikes me down with a hand of lead
We bed in a bucket of butcher's knives
I awake with a hatchet over my head
[Verse 3]
Well, you know the story of the viper
It's long and lean with a poison tooth
Oh yeah, you know the story of the viper
It's long, it's lean, it's got a poison tooth
Well, they're hissing under the floorboards
Hanging down in bunches from my roof
[Verse 4]
Well, I got a woman
She just hollers what she wants from where she's at
Well, I got a woman
She just hollers what she wants from where she is
She screams out Jack the Ripper
Every time I try to give that girl a kiss
[Refrain]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
