Teach Me Sweetheart
The Fiery Furnaces
Come away;
teach me, sweetheart.
Come on past,
brave young bachelors.
I'm alone;
teach me, sweetheart.
My mother in law was standing by the stove
hissing like a snake, hissing like a snake,
hissing like a snake.
She gave orders to spill my blood;
she gave orders
to spill my blood, I thought.
I thought, I thought, and I thought some more.
Come away;
teach me, sweetheart.
Come on past,
brave young bachelors.
I'm alone;
teach me, sweetheart.
My father in law was lying on his bed
growling like a dog, growling like a do,
growling like a dog.
My mother in law was standing by the stove
hissing like a snake, hissing like a snake,
hissing like a snake.
He gave orders to spill my blood;
He gave orders
to spill my blood, I thought.
I thought, I thought, and I thought some more.
Come away;
teach me, sweetheart.
Come on past,
brave young bachelors.
I'm alone;
teach me, sweetheart.
My sister in law was sitting on her stoop
crawing like a crow, crawing like a crow,
crawing like a crow.
She gave orders to spill my blood;
she gave orders
to spill my blood, I thought.
I thought, I thought, and I thought some more.
Come away;
teach me, sweetheart.
Come on past,
brave young bachelors.
I'm alone;
teach me, sweetheart.
My brother in law was leaning on the love-seat
tapping with his tail, tapping with his tail,
purring like a cat.
He gave orders to spill my blood;
He gave orders
to spill my blood, I thought
