Intro : (alternance entre accords et cordes à vide)

I came upon a butcher

He w as slaughtering a lamb

I accused him there

With his tortured lamb

He said, "L isten to me, child

I am what I am

And you, y ou are my only son."

Well, I found a silver needle

I pu t it into my arm

It did some good

Did some harm

But the nig hts were cold

And it almost kept me warm

How come the night is long ?

I saw some flowers growing up

Wher e that lamb fell down

Was I supposed to praise my Lord

Make som e kind of joyful sound ?

He said, "L isten, listen to me now

I go round and round

And you, you are my only chil d."

Do not leave me now

Do n ot leave me now

I'm broken down

From a re cent fall

Blood upon my body

And ice upon my soul

Lead on, my son, it is your wo rld
