Lyrics
Teach me sweetheart
Come away Teach me, sweetheart Come on past Brave young batchelors I'm alone Teach me, sweetheart
My mother in law was standing by the stove Hissing like a snake, hissing like a snake Hissing like a snake She gave orders to spill my blood She gave orders To spill my blood, I thought
I thought, I thought, and I thought some more
Come away Teach me sweetheart Come on past Brave young bachelors I'm alone Teach me, sweetheart
My father in law was lying on his bed Growling like a dog, growling like a dog Growling like a dog He gave orders to spill my blood; he gave orders To spill my blood, I thought
I thought, I thought, and I thought some more
Come away Teach me sweetheart Come on past Brave young bachelors I'm alone Teach me, sweetheart
My sister in law was sitting on her stoop Crawing like a crow, crawing like a crow Crawing like a crow She gave orders to spill my blood She gave orders To spill my blood, I thought
I thought, I thought, and I thought some more
Come away Teach me sweetheart Come on past Brave young bachelors I'm alone Teach me, sweetheart
My brother in law was leaning on the love-seat Tapping with his tail, tapping with his tail Purring like a cat He gave orders to spill my blood He gave orders To spill my blood, I thought
