The Man With The X Shaped Scar On His Cheek - The Bonnevilles

I knew a man

I knew a man

I knew a man with an x-shaped scar on his cheek

And I wondered how he came to be so marked

Maybe he fell

Maybe he fell

Maybe he fell in a well down to hell

And the devil kicked him back to life

It was not his time to die

He marked to remember

Marked him just below his eye

Ooh you should be aware of dark haired girls

Unless one should cause your death

A ring of gold

A ring of gold

A ring of gold with a missing ruby stone

On the hand of the man who lost his love

He lost his peace

He lost his wife

Lost them to the man with the scar beneath his eye

Ooh you should be aware of dark haired girls

Unless one should cause your death

No peace in death

No peace in life

No peace in love

And no peace in this fight

As darkness closes in on its claim of his wicked evil life

All men end the same with a grimace or a smile

And so it ended for the man with the scar beneath his eye
