My Name
Strong men tremble when they hear it
They've got cause enough to fear it
It's much blacker than they smear it
Nobody mentions
My name
Rich men hold their five pound notes out
Saves me emptyin' their coats out
They know I could tear their throats out
Just to live up to
My name
With me Jemmy in me hand
Lemme see the man who dares
Stop me taking what I may
He can start to say his prayers
Biceps like an iron girder
Fit for doin' of a murder
If I just so much as heard a
Bloke even whisper
My name
Bill Sikes!
Strong men tremble when they hear it
They've got cause enough to fear it
It's much blacker than they smear it
Nobody mentions
my name
Some Toff slummin' with his valet
Bumped into me in an alley
Now his eyes'll never tally
He'd never heard of
My name
One bloke
He used to boast a claim
He could take my name in vain
Ha!
Poor bloke
Shame he was so green
Never was he seen again
Once bad, what's the good of turnin'?
In Hell, I'll a be there burnin'
Meanwhile
Think of what I'm earnin'
All on acount of
My name
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
My name!
They've got cause enough to fear it
It's much blacker than they smear it
Nobody mentions
My name
Rich men hold their five pound notes out
Saves me emptyin' their coats out
They know I could tear their throats out
Just to live up to
My name
With me Jemmy in me hand
Lemme see the man who dares
Stop me taking what I may
He can start to say his prayers
Biceps like an iron girder
Fit for doin' of a murder
If I just so much as heard a
Bloke even whisper
My name
Bill Sikes!
Strong men tremble when they hear it
They've got cause enough to fear it
It's much blacker than they smear it
Nobody mentions
my name
Some Toff slummin' with his valet
Bumped into me in an alley
Now his eyes'll never tally
He'd never heard of
My name
One bloke
He used to boast a claim
He could take my name in vain
Ha!
Poor bloke
Shame he was so green
Never was he seen again
Once bad, what's the good of turnin'?
In Hell, I'll a be there burnin'
Meanwhile
Think of what I'm earnin'
All on acount of
My name
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
My name!
