lirik lagu marc gunn - the widow and the devil
[verse]
high atop a lonely moor, a widow lived alone
an inn she kept, and as she slept
her pillow heard her moan:
“oh, many’s the lonely traveler
has spent the night with me
but there’s no a man in all creation
gives content to me!
[verse]
“well, some can manage once or twice
and some make three or four;
but it seems to me a rarity
is the man who can do more
i’d do anything to find him
in heaven or in h~ll.”
and as she spoke these words
sure, she heard her front door bell
[chorus]
and the wind blew cold and lonely
across that widow’s moor
and she never, ever turned away
a traveler from the door
[verse]
so boldly ran the widow
and the door did open wide
and as she did, a tall and handsome
stranger stepped inside
well, she gave him bread and brandy
and when that he was fed
he said, “my dear, now have no fear;
it’s time to come to bed
[verse]
“for i’ve heard your plea
right down below
and i’ve come to see you right
but you must come to h~ll with me
if i can last the night.”
she said, “you randy devil!
to this bargain i’ll agree
for h~ll on earth, or h~ll in h~ll
it’s all the same to me!”
[chorus]
and the wind blew cold and lonely
across that widow’s moor
and she never, ever turned away
a traveler from the door
[verse]
now, as they fumbled in the bed
the devil, he proved well…
and he thought before the night would end
that she’d be in his h~ll
ah, but when they came to number nine
the widow cried out, “more!”
and when the twelfth time came around
the widow cried, “encore!”
[verse]
at twenty~five the devil
felt compelled to take a rest
but the widow cried
“come raise your head
and put me to the test!”
at sixty~nine, the widow laughed
“again! again!” she cried
and the devil said
“well, i can see just how your husband died!”
[chorus]
and the wind blew cold and lonely
across that widow’s moor
and she never, ever turned away
a traveler from the door
[verse]
at ninety~nine, the devil
he began to wail and weep
he said, “i’ll give you anything
if you’ll let me go to sleep!”
but before the morning light was up
the devil hobbled home
and the widow, still not satisfied
once more was left alone
[verse]
she lay there on her pillow
and she thought on ninety~nine
“it’s a pity that poor devil
couldn’t manage one more time!
i’ll call him up again tonight
to see what can be done –
with a little more application
we could make it to the ton!”
[chorus]
and the wind blew cold and lonely
across that widow’s moor
and she never, ever turned away
a traveler from the door
[verse]
but when she called to him that night
no devil did appear
for the first time in eternity
the devil, he shook with fear
he said, “of all the torments
i’ve witnessed here in h~ll
i never knew what pain was
’til i rang your front door bell!”
[chorus]
and the wind blew cold and lonely
across that widow’s moor
and she never, ever turned away
a traveler from the door
[outro]
and the wind blew cold and lonely
across that widow’s moor
and she never, ever turned away
a traveler from the door
