Vic Chesnutt Sultan So Mighty Lyrics

i'm here because i'm a eunuch
i am no threat
i'm here to watch the ladies
and to fan away their sweat

and the sultan, so mighty
comes crawling to me
when he has a little problem
with the ladies

i'm here because i am a eunuch
i'm perfectly safe
i'm here to bring the ladies
hot towels when they bathe

and the sultan, so mighty
wants to talk to me
when he needs a little help
with the ladies

and what he don't know
won't hurt him what we know
would never hurt him
but he would hurt us
if he knew what we know

i'm here because i am a eunuch
a trusted confidant
i'm here to serve the ladies
they tell me what they want

and the sultan, so mighty
has to go through me
when he's having trouble pleasing
certain ladies

and what he don't know
won't hurt him
what we know
would never hurt him
but he would hurt us
if he knew what we know
