Mr. Strange - The Curse of Albert Cragg lyrics

The Curse of Albert Cragg

In the winter of 1869
There was a freak stalking the streets
 he was a friend of mine
In a long trench coat and a black top hat
He'd creep in the fog and then he'd attack
With a slice, chop, stab, stab skewer
They never saw his face
It was always obscured

He lurked in the shadows in the dead of night
His knife danced in the eyes of pure fright
They caught him in the end and
Hanged him by the throat
Left him swinging and then they cut the rope
His name is Albert Cragg

Swinging from the gallows
They watched him die
Then they cut him down and spat on his grave
Swinging, swinging swinging from the gallows
He cursed the world he cursed us all

And thus was born the Curse of Albert Cragg
Never mention his name or you'll get stabbed
You can still hear his footsteps
In the dead of night
He'll cut you up and laugh with delight

He lurked in the shadows in the dead of night
His knife danced in the eyes of pure fright
They caught him in the end and
Hanged him by the throat
Left him swinging and then they cut the rope

Swinging from the gallows
They watched him die
Then they cut him down and spat on his grave
Swinging, swinging swinging from the gallows
He cursed the world he cursed us all

I'm Albert Cragg and I'm back from the dead
You better watch out bitch
I'll cut off your head! I'm Albert Cragg
I'm gonna make the world pay
I'm coming for you, there's no running away
