Enter The Haggis - Mrs. Elliott lyrics

At first you lost an infant son, a tiny helpless lad He contracted something hideous, they don't know what he had But you kept on to tomorrow, never dwelling on the past You can push it to the corner, but the pain will always last And the second was your husband, a good man all would say He left you feeling helpless when he took an early grave You had to raise a family, you had to run the inn But keep the door unlocked, we need a drink Sorry Mrs. Elliott, may he rest in peace His story is as bad as it can be A raven on your lawn, the devil at your door You'd better close your eyes and get some sleep Cause morning comes early Next came poor old Harvey, he was only twenty-three With a hunger for adventure, yeah he could have been something And to make the matter harder, it was Fred who pulled the gun So they hauled him off to Kingston, now you're standing on your own Then they sent young Freddy back to you to soothe your ailing phones You hung your head and said a prayer when he finally came home But he caught tuberculosis and you lost your final son In this twisted game of life we play, you lost Sorry Mrs. Elliott, may he rest in peace His story is as bad as it can be A raven on your lawn, the devil at your door You'd better close your eyes and get some sleep Cause the morning comes early for you You live, you live, you live In spite of the grief that kept on coming You live, you live, you live In spite of a life of loss you could not be broken When you think about it, looking down from up above I pray heaven has been kinder on your heart Sorry Mrs. Elliott, may he rest in peace His story is as bad as it can be A raven on your lawn, the devil at your door Better close your eyes and get some sleep, oh Sorry Mrs. Elliott, may he rest in peace (I'm sorry Mrs. Elliott) His story is as bad as it can be (You've got a) A raven on your lawn, the devil at your door Better close your eyes and get some sleep Cause the morning comes early for you The devil's at your door The devil's at your door The devil's at your door The devil's at your door
