Oh gal, oh gal, with your darkened eyes

Kindle the wood and prepare the lies

And don't fail me know

Oh me, oh my, oh beast with might

Drown me with water and burn me with fire

And don't fail me now

Just don't fail me now

You don't do me right

You don't do me right

Why you do me wrong when the rope gets tight?

When the rope gets tight

When the rope gets tight.

Oh day, oh night, oh darkened light

Drown me with water and burn me with fire

And don't fail me know

Oh mary, oh mother of all that is near

Lead me to freedom from my kingdom of fear

And don't fail me now

Just don't fail me now

You don't do me right

You don't do me right

Why you do me wrong when the rope gets tight?

When the rope gets tight

When the rope gets tight

When the rope gets tight.

Oh gal, oh gal, with your darkened heart

Kindle the wood and prepare to start

Just don't fail me now

Just don't fail me now

You don't do me right

You don't do me right

Why you do me wrong when the rope gets tight?

When the rope gets tight

When the rope gets tight

When the rope gets tight

When the rope gets tight.
