Wolverine

Wolverine 

***

There's a fire 

Burning creature 

In that Welsh 

Woman's heart

She has a tongue 

It'll cut you up 

Tear you 

Apart

She has a way 

Of knowing 

Where your 

Weaknesses lie 

Before you 

Know what's 

Happened

She's said 

Goodbye

Well, I met her 

Down south 

In the City of 

New Orleans

I was young 

fell in love 

With a Welsh 

Wolverine 

There was 

A full moon 

Kept announcing 

Its presence 

Under that Sky 

Our meeting 

Was pure

No coincidence

I told her 

my name 

She took me 

To a swamp

And there 

In murky water 

We had fun

We did romp

She took my heart, 

Clothes, car keys 

And my Sanity

Cops found her 

In Alabama 

Convicted her 

Of a felony

Now she's in jail, 

But I know it 

Won't be 

For long

Give her 

A bit of time

The warden 

Soon will be 

Singing 

Her song 

And me, I'll be 

Hidden In the Black 

Mountains of Wales 

Without a doubt 

Because no one 

Will be safe 

When that 

Welsh woman 

On fire gets out

That's the story 

Of a Welsh woman 

Who took 

America by storm

She held her bait 

Out to me 

I took the worm

My heart now

It will never 

Return
