The Tiger Lillies - Boatman lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Boatman lyrics]
The boatman sit's on his boat by the river
Try as he might, he cannot forgive her
As he watches the corpse turning blue
He laughs
The boatman he sit's on his boat by the river
Another grey corpse he pulls
Out before dinner
Another sad life, another sad time
And he laughs
The boatman he sit's on his boat by the river
No name and address when he does deliver
The old ones, the worst ones
They tried and they failed he laughs
And the odor and stench
They once made him retch
Well now he just sees them as mortal flesh
And he laughs
Yes he laughs yes he laughs
Yes he laughs yes he laughs
Yes he laughs
Try as he might, he cannot forgive her
As he watches the corpse turning blue
He laughs
The boatman he sit's on his boat by the river
Another grey corpse he pulls
Out before dinner
Another sad life, another sad time
And he laughs
The boatman he sit's on his boat by the river
No name and address when he does deliver
The old ones, the worst ones
They tried and they failed he laughs
And the odor and stench
They once made him retch
Well now he just sees them as mortal flesh
And he laughs
Yes he laughs yes he laughs
Yes he laughs yes he laughs
Yes he laughs
