Always Be True

I swung him around by the hand
And I said
You promise
You'll always be true

He'd laugh and he'd smile
He would pull me in close
And say
I've eyes only for you

Years later I found
The true tale
to this hound
He sniffed after any old bitch

But with him I stayed
Of his temper
Afraid
When he raged and he'd call me a witch

Then one day I snapped
With the iron pan
His head I did rap
He fell to the floor still and blue

I pulled at his wrist
Sighed at those lips
I'd kissed
And whispered, you promised you'd always be true
