Mrs. William Lyrics by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Mrs William
Where is William ?
Where has William go ?
You know you shouldn't
Come into a place like this alone

Now if you'd like to sit here at my table, I'll abide
But it isn't usually my thing to do another's bride

I'll sell my heart, I'll sell my brain
I'll sell my love and all my fame
My mother maybe and my brother too
To raise the stake to pay for you
To get you from his side

And then I'll watch keep one eye open
Halfway fearing, halfway hoping
That blackguard boy with handsome muscle
Disturb your sleep with tiny tussle
And earn by stealing
Mrs William gone again

But with your eyes and with your aura
You'll never leave a place alone
I have you always the taste of us coming
(you'll make the beasties and the flora)
You're part of our eternal home
(humble and bow down)
Mrs William   Where is William ?   Where has William go ?   You know you shouldn't   Come into a place like this alone      Now if you'd like to sit here at my table, I'll abide   But it isn't usually my thing to do another's bride      I'll sell my heart, I'll sell my brain   I'll sell my love and all my fame   My mother maybe and my brother too   To raise the stake to pay for you   To get you from his side      And then I'll watch keep one eye open   Halfway fearing, halfway hoping   That blackguard boy with handsome muscle   Disturb your sleep with tiny tussle   And earn by stealing   Mrs William gone again      But with your eyes and with your aura   You'll never leave a place alone   I have you always the taste of us coming   (you'll make the beasties and the flora)   You're part of our eternal home   (humble and bow down)
