The Butcher

I came upon a butcher

He was slaughtering a lamb

I accused him there

With his tortured lamb

He said, "Listen to me, child

I am what I am

And you, you are my only son"Well, I found a silver needle

I put it into my arm

It did some good

Did some harm

But the nights were cold

And it almost kept me warm

How come the night is long?I saw some flowers growing up

Where that lamb fell down

Was I supposed to praise my Lord?

Make some kind of joyful sound

He said, "Listen, listen to me now

I go round and round

And you, you are my only child"Do not leave me now

Do not leave me now

I'm broken down

From a recent fall

Blood upon my body

And ice upon my soul

Lead on my son, is your world
