Bella Donna

We lay anchored in Spain, all our efforts in vain
just to be free of this cursed place
as I walk through the streets, under shadow of sin
I spied a red lantern, and made my way in

In all of my years all around this world
no woman has bewitched me so
with her sweet, olive skin and her eyes set aflame
Bella Donna near drove me insane.

Bella Donna I said "My coin has been stolen,
From dicing and drinking and whoring and game."
She said "My dear man, there's a favor you can do me.
For I was once wealthy with title and fame."

"Down that dark alley a merchant you'll see
Peddling what once was my own...
Go there in darkness and steal what you can
for he has no guardsmen and stands there alone..."

Bella! (Hey!) Donna! (Ho!)
Mi tonto corazón
Ase! (Hey!) Sina! (Ho!)
Left me all on my own.

BELLA DONNA!

MATADORA!

I've stolen my way, from Nassau to London
One Spanish merchant, stood no chance at all
and just as she said, there weren't any guardsmen
One blow to the head and the merchant did fall

Back down alley I fled from the scene
By reflex I reached for my gun
Donna did cry as I flew through the doorway
But I did not realize, the deed I had done

Bella! (Hey!) Donna! (Ho!)
Mi tonto corazón
Ase! (Hey!) Sina! (Ho!)
Left me all on my own.

BELLA DONNA!

MATADORA!

Bella Donna soon took, all the gold and the plunder
but this Spanish maiden was not as she said
And she'd already sent, for two guards from the Navy
and told me the price for murder was my head

Now I hear that the Navy, came down on my crew
no survivors from what I can tell...

But I'll see them again when I hang from the gallows
At least I'll be welcome when I get to Hell!
