ryan scott oliver - james harris lyrics
[balladeer]:
come sail with him a league, a league
a league but barely three
yea, all you ladies come away
to the banks of italy
james harris is a talker
the graceful party guest
in his suit of blue
he possesses you
unnoticed by the rest
[women]:
the rest… the rest… the rest…
[balladeer]:
james harris is a writer
and anxious to be wed
hear him weave a tale
and he’ll never fail
to bring you to his bed
[women]:
his bed… his bed… his bed…
[balladeer]:
come sail with him a league, a league
a league but barely four
don’t mind his dismal countenance
or that shiver in your core
james harris is a liar
no truth attends his breath
catch him on a train
and he’ll yank your chain
with tales of pain and death
[women]:
and death… and death… and death…
[balladeer]:
james harris is a salesman
but he trades in more than books
what appears a deal
is your fate to seal
he’s caught you by his hooks
[women]:
his hooks… his hooks… his hooks…
[balladeer]:
come sail with him a league, a league
a league but barely five
that’s heaven over yon but yet
’tis to h+ll this ship will drive
james harris is a player
each town a fiancé
ah, they wait so dumb+
’cause he’ll never come
upon their wedding day
[women]:
the day… the day… the day…
[balladeer]:
james harris is a devil
a legend and a song
he takes the life
of the faithless wife
to warn women from wrong
[women]:
from wrong… from wrong —
ahh!
[balladeer]:
come sail with him a league, a league
a league but barely six
when breaks his gallant ship in twain
and he drowns you just for kicks
[women]:
james!
[balladeer]:
james harris is your father
he’s your brother. he’s all men
who may think they’re wise
and who sermonize
downwind to woman’s ken
[women]:
our ken… our ken… our ken…
james harris is a problem
james harris must be k!lled
hear the women say
“now comes the day
that james’s blood is spilled”
come sail with james a league, a league
a league but once it’s three
you slash him ‘cross the throat and shout
“james harris, now i’m free
i’m free
i’m free
no man no more shall trouble me
die, james!”
