Men I've Known and Killed (2023) Songtext
von The Longest Johns

Buried under my feet
There′s a man I did meet
Tally-roo-ta-die-roo-aye-ay
He sullied my name so I put him to sleep
Tally-roo-ta-die-roo-die-day

Buried under the hill
Is a feller' I killed
Tally-roo-ta-die-roo-aye-ay
I opened his throat for he looked at me ill
Tally-roo-ta-die-roo-die-day


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

Deep down under the sea
A crew of twenty-three
Tally-roo-ta-die-roo-aye-ay
Those who've seem them now know from my banners to flee
Tally-roo-ta-die-roo-die-day

So tell all who await
That our temper is great
Tally-roo-ta-die-roo-aye-ay
Those who don′t heed the word cast their hand to the fate
Tally-roo-ta-die-roo-die-day
