Mistress of the Salmon Salt (Quicklime Girl) Blue Öyster Cult

[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
In the garden district
Where the plants grow strong and tall
Behind the bush, there lurks a girl
Who makes them strong and tall
The villagers call her...

[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
(Quicklime girl) behind her back
(Quicklime girl) behind the bush
(Quicklime girl)
She's the mistress of the salmon salt
(Quicklime girl, quicklime girl, quicklime girl)

[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
In the fall when plants return
By harvest time she knows the score
Ripe and ready to the eye
Yet rotten somehow to the core
And they call her...

[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
(Quicklime girl) behind her back
(Quicklime girl) behind the bush
(Quicklime girl)
She's the mistress of the salmon salt
(Quicklime girl, quicklime girl, quicklime girl)
