lirik lagu jarboe & kris force - grandmother's tale

a woman had finished her baking so she asked her daughter to take a fresh galette and a pot of cream to her grandmother who lived in a forest cottage

the girl set off and on her way she met a bzou a werewolf
the bzou stopped the girl and asked: “where are you going? what do you carry?”
“i’m going my grandmother’s house” said the girl “and i’m bringing her bread and cream.”
“which path will you take?” the bzou asked
“the path of needles or the path of pins?”
“i’ll take the path of pins” said the girl
“why then i’ll take the path of needles and we’ll see who gets there first.”

the girl set off the bzou set off and the bzou reached grandmother’s cottage first. he quickly k!lled the old woman and gobbled her up flesh, blood, and bone except for a bit of flesh that he put in a little dish on the pantry shelf and except for a bit of blood that he drained into a little bottle
then the bzou dressed in grandmother’s cap and shawl and climbed into bed

when the girl arrived the bzou called out, “pull the peg and come in my child.”
“grandmother” said the girl “mother sent me here with a galette and cream.”
“put them in the pantry child. are you hungry?
“yes i am grandmother.”
“then cook the meat that you’ll find on the shelf. are you thirsty?”
“yes i am grandmother.”
“then drink the bottle of wine you’ll find on the shelf beside it child.”

as the young girl cooked and ate the meat, a little cat piped up and cried “you are eating the flesh of your grandmother”
“throw your shoe at that noisy cat” said the bzou and so she did
as she drank the wine a small bird cried “you are drinking the blood of your grandmother”
“throw your other shoe at that noisy bird” said the bzou and so she did
when she finished her meal the bzou said “are you tired from your journey child? then take off your clothes come to bed and i shall warm you up.”
“where shall i put my apr~n grandmother?”
“throw it on the fire child for you won’t need it anymore.”
“where shall i put my bodice grandmother?”
“throw it on the fire for you won’t need it anymore.”
the girl repeats this question for her skirt, her petticoat, and her stockings. the bzou gives the same answer and she throws each item on the fire
as she comes to bed she says to him:
“grandmother how hairy you are”
“the better to keep you warm my child,”
“grandmother what big arms you have”
“the better to hold you close, my child.”
“grandmother what big ears you have”
“the better to hear you with, my child.”
“grandmother what sharp t~~th you have!”
“the better to eat you with my child now come and lay beside me.”
“but first i must go and relieve myself.”
“do it in the bed my child.”
“i cannot i must go outside” the girl says cleverly for now she knows that it’s the bzou who is lying in grandmother’s bed

“then go outside” the bzou agrees “but mind that you come back again quick. i’ll tie your ankle with a woollen thread so i’ll know just where you are.” he ties her ankle with a st~rdy thread but as soon as the girl has gone outside she cuts the thread with her sewing scissors and ties it to a plum tree. the bzou growing impatient calls out “what have you finished yet my child?” when no one answers he calls again. “are you watering the grass or feeding the trees?” no answer. he leaps from bed follows the thread, and finds her gone

the bzou gives chase and soon the girl can hear him on the path just behind her. she runs and runs until she reaches a river that’s swift and deep. some laundresses work on the river bank. “please help me cross” she says to them. they spread a sheet over the water holding tightly to its ends. she crosses the bridge of cloth and soon she’s safe on the other side

now the bzou reaches the rive, and he bids the women help him cross. they spread a sheet over the water but as soon as he is halfway across the laundresses let go. the bzou falls into the water and drowns
