"Men I've Known And Killed" lyrics

"Men I've Known And Killed"

Buried under my feet there's a man I did meet
(Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay)
He sullied my name so I put him to sleep
(Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day)

Buried under the hill is a fella' I killed
(Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay)
I opened his throat for he looked at me ill
(Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day)

Hidden under my bed there's a woman I wed
(Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay)
She was too hard to please, harder still now she's dead
(Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day)

Deep down under the sea, a crew of twenty three
(Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay)
Those that see them now know from my banners to flee
(Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day)

So tell all who await that our temper is great
Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay
Those who don't heed the word cast their hand to their fate
(Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day)
