American Murder Song - Murder Ballads of 1816: The Year Without a Summer

Murder! Murder!

Tear the roots up from the floor
Board and tar against the door
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Sink the tooth into the wood
Still the horses with a hood
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Raise the book and cast the oil
Fingers in the father's soil
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Murder be thy name, out, out
Murder be thy name

When the lung fills up with straw
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
Cut the wire from the jaw
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
When the eye reflects the moon
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
Hold the tongue down with a spoon
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
When the throat spills in the bowl
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
Pry the altar from the hole
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Murder be thy name, out, out
Murder be thy name

I scratch the deed upon the nail
(I scratch the deed upon the nail)
And wring the dye into the pail
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
I seal the fault upon the skin
(I seal the fault upon the skin)
And carry on our brothers' sin
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
I trace the blood upon the hoof
(I trace the blood upon the hoof)
And drag the chains to split the roof
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Murder be thy name, out, out
Murder be thy name

If the spine begins to twist
(Murder! Murder!)
Bind the irons to the wrist
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
If the gambrels spit and thrash
(Murder! Murder!)
Steel your feet into the ash
(Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!)
If the mud should gape and moan
(Murder! Murder!)
Hold on to the slaughter stone
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!
Murder be thy name, out, out
Murder be thy name

Murder be thy name, out, out
Murder be thy name
Murder be thy name, out, out
Murder be thy name
Murder be thy
And let there be blood
