lyrics

She was barely seventeen when she started to learn her trade
Her daddy was a butcher and to his job very much a slave
He'd take pride in his work and his work was his life
To the annoyance of his friends but mostly his wife
Now daddy's little girl was following in his ways

And he said 

You mark my words and you take your lead from me
Oh darling sweet darling
Well you start from below and you take it right up to the teeth
Oh darling sweet darling 

So she set out to be the very best she could be
She worked to the bone she worked til it all did bleed
She worked and she sweat and she sweat as she worked
Until all that remained were the remains on her shirt
Her father stood proud as he saw his job complete 

And he said

You mark my words and you take your lead from me
Oh darling sweet darling
Well you start from below and you take it right up to the teeth
Oh darling sweet darling

Oh darling sweet darling (repeat)

It was just at this time he had given all he could give
He left this world and all the precious things in it
And so she did stand with a knife in her hand
And a passion inside brought forth by that man
With a wettened smile she made her incision deep

And she said

You mark my words and you take your lead from me
Oh darling sweet darling
Well you start from below and you take it right up to the teeth
Oh darling sweet darling

Oh darling sweet darling (repeat)
