Violet - The Tiger Lillies

Violet said she was angry

She said she was angry with me

She said she was coming round my house to murder me

She had a big knife

She wanted to stick it in me

I took out a baseball bat

Now it’s her that’s dead, not me

And the judge brings down his hammer

There’s a black hat on his head

They’re going to take me from here

And hang me 'till I’m dead

I’m sitting here on death-row

Hoping they might pardon me

Or they’re going to take me from here

And hang me on Tuesday

Hang me on Tuesday, they’re going to hang me on Tuesday

Hang me on Tuesday, they’re going to hang me on Tuesday

Hang me on Tuesday, they’re going to hang me on Tuesday

Violet’s mum, she found a note

And the note, the note it said

That violet was coming round my house

And she wanted me dead

Well this is my tragedy

It’s a tragedy for me

They found the note on Wednesday

And they hung me on Tuesday

So now I’m up in Heaven

The noose is still around my neck

That Violet Harrison was a right pain in the neck

They hung me on Tuesday

They hung me on Tuesday

They hung me on Tuesday

They hung me on Tuesday

They hung me on Tuesday

They hung me on Tuesday

They hung me on Tuesday
