The Legend of Becky Cotton

Please remember, my guns are loaded
So, be careful when you open my drawers
I have lifted the axe before
But, don't be shy, come step through my door
Yes, my beauty fooled the jury
I escaped the gallows pole
Turn off the lights and close your eyes
I'll make you bleed, eventually
So, tell me now, I won't tell a soul
Are you really willing to die?
Die for love?
Don't go sleeping by the fire
There's no telling what I might do
A deadly dose of nightshade
In your tea could be the end of you
Turn off the lights and go to sleep
I'll sink you deep into Beaverdam Creek
So, tell me now, I won't tell a soul
Are you really willing to die for love?
Tell me now, I won't tell a soul
Are you really willing to die?
Die for love?
So, what is murder, anyway?
So, what is murder, anyway?
Just an extreme expression of love

Turn off the lights and close your eyes
I'll make you bleed, eventually
So, tell me now, I won't tell a soul
Are you really willing to die for love?
Tell me now, I won't tell a soul
Are you really willing to die?
Die for love?
