john wesley harding - sussex ghost story lyrics
after i had killed my wife
and by the jury been acquitted
i resolved to change my life
and try to lead a life less wicked
i roamed around
from town to town
in search of some employment
but it was here
i settled down
i saw her standing in the sun
i was bewitched by all her features
and before the day was done
i was in love with the schoolteacher
and since she had
no next of kin
i offered my -ssistance
to my surprise
she took me in
we spent the summer of that year
in a love of such perfection
but when winter first appeared
i felt the cold of her rejection
it was then
she turned to me
with a look i didn’t recognise
“it is our anniversary”
“it is our anniversary
and you can not run away from me”
i saw a light
upon a knife
and in a moment that i recognised
i begged for my life
