In the timbers to Fennario   The wolves are runnin' round   The winter was so hard and cold   Froze ten feet 'neath the ground      Don't murder me, I beg of you   Don't murder me, please, don't murder me      I sat down to my supper   It was a bottle of red whisky   I said my prayers and went to bed   That's the last they saw of me      Don't murder me, I beg of you   Don't murder me, please, don't murder me      When I awoke, the dire wolf   Six hundred pounds of sin   Was grinning at my window   All I said was, "Come on in"      But don't murder me, I beg of you   Don't murder me, please, don't murder me      The wolf came in, I got my cards   We sat down for a game   I cut my deck to the queen of spades   But the cards were all the same      Don't murder me, I beg of you   Don't murder me, please, don't murder me   Don't murder me      In the backwash of Fennario   The black and bloody mire   The dire wolf collects his due   While the boys sing 'round the fire      Don't murder me, I beg of you   Don't murder me, please, don't murder me      Don't murder me, I beg of you   Don't murder me, please, don't murder me      No, no, no don't murder me, I beg of you   Don't murder me, please, don't murder me   Please, don't murder me
