It's a terrible thing, but truth tae say ---in this age o' greed A man's worth little when he's alive, but plenty when he's deid. cho: An' it's doon the close an' up the stair A but-an'-ben wi' Burke and Hare Burke's the butcher, Hare's the thief And Knox is the man that buys the beef. So in the dark of mony a nicht, when a' guid folks are sleeping By the dyke and in the kirkyard come twa shadows creeping. An' mony a man that's cauld richt thru an' safely hid away He never thocht it wisnae the last he'd see the licht o'day. But no contentit wi' howkin' deid, a ploy that aye gets harder They've started pickin' healthy folk, and then committin' murder. An' a' arood the countryside creeps a fearsome pair--- Be ye man or wife or wean, ye're nae safe from Burke and Hare. Men and women, auld and young, the sickly and the hale Were murdered, packed up and sent off tae Knox's human sale. That man o' skill wi' subjects warm was frequently supplied, Nor did he question where or how the person brought had died. But noo auld Reekie can sleep at last; these two will trade nae mair It's the gallows tree for William Burke, and a pauper's grave for Hare. @outlaw @Scots filename[ BURKHARE play.exe BURKHARE RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Byker Hill, Ca The Ewes Tae The Knowes, Ca The Yowes Tae The Knowes Molly And Me, Caissons Go Rolling Along, Caledonia, California Sunset, Call Me The Whale, Callib Song, Calling On Song, Callingon Song, Calomel, Cam Ye Over Frae France, Cameroon Anthem Text, Cameroon Native Anthem Text, Camp Grenada, Campbell The Drover, Camping, Camptown Races, Can The Circle Be Unbroken, Can Ye Sew Cushions, Can You Dig That Crazy Gibberish, Can You Type Mary Alice, Canada Anthem Text, Canada Native Anthem Text, Canadaio, Candlelight Fisherman, Canine Eneuretic, Cannily Cannily, Cape Anne, Cape Cod Girls, Captain Hanley And Sweet Mazie, Captain Jinks Of The Horse Marines, Captain Ward, Captain Ward And The Rainbow, Captain Wedderburns Courtship, Captains Shanty, Card Song, Careless Love, Carmen, Carol For New Years Day, Carol Of The Bells, Carolina On My Mind, Carrion Crow, Carry It On, Casey Jones, Casey Jones The Union Scab, Castle Of Dromore, Cat Came Back, Cats Are Taking Over, Cats On The Rooftops, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
