[Verse 1]
I went out walking the other day
The wind hung wet around my neck
My head, it rung with screams and groans
From the night I spent amongst her bones
Passed beside the mission house
Where that mad old buzzard, the reverend
Shrieked and flapped about life after you're dead
I thought about my friend, Michel
How they rolled him in linoleum
And they shot him in the neck
[Chorus]
Well, Papa won't leave you, Henry
Papa won't lеave you, boy
Papa won't leave you, Hеnry
Papa won't leave you, boy
Well, the road is long and the road is hard
And a many fall by the side
Papa won't leave you, Henry
And there ain't no need to cry
And I went on down the road
[Verse 2]
I came upon a little house
A little house upon a hill
I entered through and the curtain hissed
Into the house with its blood-red bowels
Wet-lipped women with greasy fists
Crawled the ceilings and the walls
And they filled me full of drink
And they led me 'round the rooms
Naked and cold and grinning
Until everything went black and I came down spinning
I awoke so drunk and full of rage
That I could hardly speak
A fag in a whalebone corset
Draping his dick across my cheek
And it's into the shame and it's into a guilt
And it's into the fucking fray
And the walls ran red around me
A warm arterial spray saying
I went out walking the other day
The wind hung wet around my neck
My head, it rung with screams and groans
From the night I spent amongst her bones
Passed beside the mission house
Where that mad old buzzard, the reverend
Shrieked and flapped about life after you're dead
I thought about my friend, Michel
How they rolled him in linoleum
And they shot him in the neck
[Chorus]
Well, Papa won't leave you, Henry
Papa won't lеave you, boy
Papa won't leave you, Hеnry
Papa won't leave you, boy
Well, the road is long and the road is hard
And a many fall by the side
Papa won't leave you, Henry
And there ain't no need to cry
And I went on down the road
[Verse 2]
I came upon a little house
A little house upon a hill
I entered through and the curtain hissed
Into the house with its blood-red bowels
Wet-lipped women with greasy fists
Crawled the ceilings and the walls
And they filled me full of drink
And they led me 'round the rooms
Naked and cold and grinning
Until everything went black and I came down spinning
I awoke so drunk and full of rage
That I could hardly speak
A fag in a whalebone corset
Draping his dick across my cheek
And it's into the shame and it's into a guilt
And it's into the fucking fray
And the walls ran red around me
A warm arterial spray saying
