Shummumumum mumum mumum I'm your peg-legged father Shummumumum mumum mumum You're my darling daughter You're my darling daughter I'm your peg-legged father What has become Of your cold-hearted mother?
Shummumumum mumum mumum I'm the man who raised you Shummumumum mumum mumum Her absence never fazed you Her absence never fazed you I'm the man who raised you Your mother tried to kill us both But her bullet only grazed you
Shummumumum mumum mumum Her second bullet got me Shummumumum mumum mumum Your wicked mother shot me Your wicked mother shot me Her second bullet got me A weaker man would have fallen To the ground, but not me
Shummumumum mumum mumum She got me in the leg Shummumumum mumum mumum That's how I got the peg That's how I got the peg She shot me in the leg I grabbed her by the neck And pushed her down And made her beg
Shummumumum mumum mumum I heard your mother curse me Shummumumum mumum mumum But the bleeding made me thirsty I heard your mother curse me But the bleeding made me thirsty That's why I let go Of your mother's neck And showed her mercy
Shummumumum mumum mumum Shummumumum mumum mumum
Shummumumum mumum mumum She up and ran away Shummumumum mumum mumum A year ago today Her letter came today Her letter came today What did it say? Oh, what did it say?
