Mary Mercy from Fatal Femmes by The Sandy Sweethearts & The Bubany Boy

Wood bowls of porridge
And baskets of oranges
She brings them down
To the kids at the orphanage

Four grains of strychnine
In each of the gifts she brings
Teeming with mercy
And this is the song she sings

Come now little children
I’ll make you sleep
I’ve seen all of this world
It’s not so sweet

Rest now none can find you
None can harm you or me
Soon we’ll be unburdened
Just wait and see

Close your eyes fall asleep
Run away from all you’ve seen
Rest your head and believe
You will always be at peace

Close your eyes gal asleep
(Drifting out I’m asleep)

Run away from all you’ve seen
(I think I’ve seen you in my dreams)

Rest your head and believe
(Thinking now I believe)

You will always be as peace
(I know I’ve seen you in between)

Close your eyes gal asleep
(Drifting out I’m asleep)
(Come now little children)

Run away from all you’ve seen
(I think I’ve seen you in my dreams)
(I’ll make you sleep)

Rest your head and believe
(Thinking now I believe)
(I’ve seen all of this world)

You will always be as peace
(I know I’ve seen you in between)
(It’s not so sweet)
