The man who sold his wife (Lyric) by Bachus
Come inside the tent
I have some friends you should meet
Come inside the tent
You know we saved you a seat
Don't be afraid, this shouldn't hurt a bit
You've come so far, you don't want to quit
Welcome to our tent
I hope you find a warm chair
Welcome to our tent
You know our odds are quite fair
Don't be shocked, to see her bound and tied
Because you sacrificed, an-just flat-out lied
You could blame the tent
If that will help you find sleep
You could blame the tent
For the evil it keeps
Don't lose faith, it's all that you have left
You've guessed right, the piker way is theft
Never leave the tent
Just relax and let go
Never leave the tent
Breathe the poppy halo
Don't look now, the blood has just arrived
You've had your fill, now can you survive?
Song written by a 43 year old Hungarian farmer-violinist
after he had to sell his wife to nomadic warrior Huns & Pikers
upon going into the red while gambling one night inside their
tent caravan.
He still has the sheep..
Oh, and his daughter.
That's reassuring
For next year.
