Elly Bly Lyrics

God damn your twilight eyes babe
Your ruby wounds dressed with the night babe
Well with one foot on the shovel
And the other in the hole
God bless your splendid naked soul Elly Bly

I am just a gambler and I played the game too long
And I bet everything but my heart was not that strong
So let the hot blood flow
Let the vultures pick my bones
I'll see you in Hell before I take you home Elly Bly

Goodnight Ms. Bly goodnight
One of us must leave this bed alive
And when I'm gone and in the ground
Don't linger on my grave
I'll never kiss your lips again Elly Bly
