The Devil Mercury
Down to Axe Alley all wastrels are drawn
Set me free from the devil mercury
For a kiss from a rose and a prick from a thorn
Set me free from the devil mercury
You dread stepping out on a journey to France
But look in her eyes and you'll soon take a chance
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
Now there's spots on your soles and there's spots on your palms
Set me free from the devil mercury
And it creeps up your legs and it creeps up your arms
Set me free from the devil mercury
It wilts all the leaves and it blackens the fruit
'Til your beg 'em to tear it right out at the root
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
Then in come the doctors their work to begin
Set me free from the devil mercury
It's a dose of quicksilver boys straight to the skin
Set me free from the devil mercury
With ropes round your wrist and a bag on your head
They'll boil you and baste you, you'll wish you were dead
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
Bloody eyes, bloody ears, no teeth and no nose
All for the scent of a sweet smelling rose
A kiss from a rose, a foot in the grave
One night with Venus now you're Mercury's slave
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
The devil mercury, the devil mercury
Set me free from the devil mercury
Singing set me free from the devil mercury
Singing set me free from the devil mercury
Singing set me free from the devil mercury
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
The devil mercury, the devil mercury
Set me free from the devil mercury
For a kiss from a rose and a prick from a thorn
Set me free from the devil mercury
You dread stepping out on a journey to France
But look in her eyes and you'll soon take a chance
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
Now there's spots on your soles and there's spots on your palms
Set me free from the devil mercury
And it creeps up your legs and it creeps up your arms
Set me free from the devil mercury
It wilts all the leaves and it blackens the fruit
'Til your beg 'em to tear it right out at the root
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
Then in come the doctors their work to begin
Set me free from the devil mercury
It's a dose of quicksilver boys straight to the skin
Set me free from the devil mercury
With ropes round your wrist and a bag on your head
They'll boil you and baste you, you'll wish you were dead
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
Bloody eyes, bloody ears, no teeth and no nose
All for the scent of a sweet smelling rose
A kiss from a rose, a foot in the grave
One night with Venus now you're Mercury's slave
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
The devil mercury, the devil mercury
Set me free from the devil mercury
Singing set me free from the devil mercury
Singing set me free from the devil mercury
Singing set me free from the devil mercury
Singing set me free, set me free
From the devil mercury, the devil mercury
The devil mercury, the devil mercury
