“I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

lyrics

Georgie had a wanderin eye two wanderin hands and an appetite
Always on the prowl never satisfied he’d take your money kill your beauty and
Steal your mind

He couldn’t get enough he couldn’t have too much
He didn’t want no wife he didn’t care for love
He was a put it in and get on out kinda guy
He’d do ya mama and ya sister and he’d fuck your wife
He was that kinda guy

He was a low down dirty cheatin snake in the grass
Always lookin sideways for a fresh piece of ass
Two-timin two-faced always a lie
He got a whole world of trouble comin for him in this life

Cos from two towns over comes Maggie Malone
She’s a beauty and Georgie wants her for his own
She’s not a woman to be played with cos what Georgie doesn’t know
He knocked up her baby sister robbed her blind and left her alone
To die

Y’see a backyard butcher put an end to the babe
and Maggie’s sister bled out on the table that day
she swore there and then that she would kill the snake
who put her darlin Lily in an early grave

Maggie says to Georgie baby meet me at three
Down in the hollow by Dead Man’s Creek
Y’know I’ve got something that you really wanna see
I’ll be waiting underneath the willow tree
That’s where you’ll find me

She had her Daddy’s pistol it was loaded up good
She put five rounds in his body Georgie fell where he stood
She sat down in the grass and watched him bleed out
Then she dressed in black from head to toe and headed South
And she was singin

He was a low down dirty cheatin snake in the grass
Always lookin sideways for a fresh piece of ass
Two-timin two-faced always a lie

He was a low down dirty cheatin snake in the grass
Always lookin sideways for a fresh piece of ass
Two-timin two-faced always a lie
The bastard had it comin to him
He deserved to die

Rachael Brady Sydney, Australia

Rachael Brady has one of those voices you only find in singers grounded by their guts into a life deeply & often messily lived.
It isn't sweet, high or perfect.
It’s a voice that sings its scars & imperfections.
It’ll probably sing some of yours too.
Brady is currently (2024) recording her 4th studio album "Bears, Witches & Wolves" with Blue Mountains based producer Josh Schuberth. ... more
