Scandal In The Family Lyrics
[Hook]
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
[Verse 1]
There was a family that lived on the isle
Of Saint Sebastian a long, long while
The head of the family was a Holland man
And the younger brother, his name was Rand
[Hook]
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
[Verse 2]
The Holland man, he kept in a tower
A wife as pretty as a big white flower
She saw the brother and she stolе his heart
And that's how the badness and thе trouble start
[Hook]
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
[Musical Interlude]
[Hook]
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
[Verse 3]
The wife and the brother, they want to go
But the Holland man, he tell them "No"
The wife fall down and the evil came
And it burned her mind in the fever flame
[Hook]
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
[Verse 3]
Her eyes are empty and she cannot talk
And the nurse has come to make her walk
The brothers are lonely and the nurse is young
And now you must know that my song is sung
[Hook]
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
