Oh she looked out of the window   As white as any milk   But he looked into the window   As black as any silk   Hello, hello, hello, hello   Hello you coal black smith   Oh what is your silly song?   You shall never change my maiden name   That I have kept so long   I'd rather die a maid yes   But then she said   And be buried in my grave yes   And then she said   That I'd have such a nasty   Husky dusky musty funky   Coal black smith   A maiden will I die   Then she became a duck   A duck all on the stream   And he became a water dog   And fetched her back again   Then she became a hare   A hare all on the plain   And he became a greyhound dog   And fetched her back again   Then she became a fly   A fly all in the air   And he became a spider   And fetched her to his lair      Man is a beast of prey   The beast of prey conquers contries   Founds great realms by subdigation of other subdigators   Forms states and organises civilisations in order to enjoy his brooding in peace   Attack and defence   Suffering and struggle   Victory and defeat   Domination and servitude   All sealed with blood   This is the entire history of human race      And she became a corpse   A corpse all in the ground   And he became the cold grey clay   And smothered her all around
