The Fiery Furnaces Lyrics
Teach me Sweetheart

Teach me sweetheart

Come away
Teach me, sweetheart
Come on past
Brave young batchelors
I'm alone
Teach me, sweetheart

My mother in law was
Standing by the stove
Hissing like a snake,
hissing like a snake
Hissing like a snake
She gave orders to spill my blood
She gave orders
To spill my blood, I thought

I thought, I thought, and I
thought some more

Come away
Teach me sweetheart
Come on past
Brave young bachelors
I'm alone
Teach me, sweetheart

My father in law was
lying on his bed
Growling like a dog,
growling like a dog

Growling like a dog
He gave orders to spill my
blood; he gave orders
To spill my blood, I thought

I thought, I thought, and I
thought some more

Come away
Teach me sweetheart
Come on past
Brave young bachelors
I'm alone
Teach me, sweetheart

My sister in law was
Sitting on her stoop
Crawing like a crow,
Crawing like a crow
Crawing like a crow
She gave orders to spill my blood
She gave orders
To spill my blood, I thought

And I thought some more

Come away
Teach me sweetheart
Come on past
Brave young bachelors
I'm alone
Teach me, sweetheart

My brother in law was
Leaning on the love-seat
Tapping with his tail,
Tapping with his tail
Purring like a cat
He gave orders to spill my blood
He gave orders
To spill my blood, I thought
