Graveltones St Lucia Lyrics

Raise your right hand honey be damned
Taking care to take it out on me
Just enough to keep your strong arm stronger
Just as cruel as a Stagger Lee
When all along you've been as twisted as the vines
Hanging down from St. Lucia's wreath
Thorns and thistles on the floor where you're laying
Bells and whistles calling out on me

Better call somebody to come and take you home
I tried to tell you but you just wouldn't leave it alone

Two holes is what I gave you
One more to be sure
And you was worth every one of them
Every one and no more
Three holes is what I gave you
For ratting out on me
Looks like you caught yourself a danger
That's gonna set your soul free
You went out and used my good heart against me
Scratch a lie honey find a thief
And every promise that you made ran empty
Lured down to a wounded knee
You've been going round tellin' tall tales
Twisting words like they was tops and teeth
But I could think of a thousand things better
Than to bully what you don't believe

Ain't nobody gonna come and take your body home
I tried to tell you but you just couldn't leave it alone

Two holes is what I gave you
One more to be sure
And you was worth every one of them
Every one and no more
Three holes is what I gave you
For ratting out on me
Looks like you caught yourself a danger
That's gonna set your soul free
