Lyrics Nellie McKay – Bold Marauder
Text:
It’s hi, ho, hey
I am the bold marauder
And hi, ho, hey
I am the white destroyer
For I will show you silver and gold
And I will bring you treasure
I will wave a widowing flag
And I will be your lover
And I will show you grotto and cave
And sacrificial alter
And I will show you blood on the stone
And I will be your mentor
And night
Will be
Our darling
And fear
Will be
Our name
It’s hi, ho, hey
I am the bold marauder
And hi, ho, hey
I am the white destroyer
For I will take you out by the hand
And lead you to the hunter
And I will show you thunder and steel
And I will be your teacher
And we will dress in helmet and sword
And dip our tongues in slaughter
And we will sing a warrior’s song
And lift the praise of murder
And fear will be our name
It’s hi, ho, hey
I am the bold marauder
And hi, ho, hey
I am the white destroyer
For I will sour the winds on high
And I will soil the river
And I will burn the grain in the field
And I will be your mother
And I will go to ravage and kill
And I will go to plunder
And I will take a Fury to wife
And I will be your father
And death will be our darling
And fear will be our name
