Текст песни Sussex Ghost Story

After I had killed my wife

And by the jury been acquitted

I resolved to change my life

And try to lead a life less wicked

I roamed around from town to town

In search of some employment

It was here I settled down

I saw her standing in the sun

I was bewitched by all her features

And before the day was done

I fell in love with a school teacher

An since she had no next of kin

I offered my assistance

To my surprise she took me in

We spent the summer of that year

In a life of such perfection

But winter first appeared

I felt the cold of her rejection

It was then she turned to me

With a look I didn't recognize

It is our anniversary

It is our anniversary

And you cannot run away from me

I saw a light upon a knife

And in the moment that I recognized

I begged for my life
