Three little sisters, barnyard blisters,

wants for Mary’s chasti - ty”.
C G C G
Mary shook her ribbons, none the ready,
C G C* D* G
kicked the cart and tipped the bale.

Twice barked the dog, twice, twice wept the sisters,
C G C* D* G
father dragged at Ma- ry’s legs.

Mary dripped and kicked ’til father slipped,
C G C* D* G
came crashing down the ladder pegs.
C G C G
Sweet little children, screaming crimson,

flocked to father on the floor.

red feet, red paws to the door.

C G C G
Summer went missing, cold winds hissing,
C G C* D* G
leaking roofs and i - cy groans.
C G C G
Father shrivelled, sunk into a hay sack,
C G C* D* G
sisters thinning by his bones.
C G C G
Somewhere where the road forks left and coils,
C G C* D* G
there’s a girl of twelve with dog.
C G C G
Clayton gone and wed himself another,
C G C* D* G
Mary fading in the fog.
