The Butchers Bride
The butchers bride met the sailors wife
Eyes so blue her cherished smiles
Her husband to be was a lying cheat
Thought a pretty bride was a great feat
Come wedding day, what did she do
When she heard the whole truth
The butchers bride caught hint of the women's lover
Lo' behold, it was her man to be
His russet eyes, his wrinkled smile
She caught the women asked her what
Was this scene, so peculiar
Women confessed that she had seen
And went along with this treachery
So she could cut up the young bride
Leave her sailor husband
And steal all her gold
And use the young brides fortune
To be rich as she grew old
So what did she do, the bride to be
She gauged the women's eyes
And threw them to the sea
She cut up all the women's hair as well
And threw her to the fishes with glee
What did she do with the hair, a rich gold
She sew on her wedding veil, bright yellow marigolds
What did she do to her butcher husband to have been
Cut up his guts nice and clean
Then threw him along the sailors women
She watched him sink deep in the sea
Then she looked at her Pa and said,
A spinsters life for me!

Meant to be read in a very sailors life for me type of thing. Just imagined singing this on the deck of a ship or a tavern in a very high fantasy dress.
