This is how I built my wife
Brought a dead body to life
With the soul of a gypsy queen
And the brightest eyes that I'd ever seen
Gave her two murderous hands
And two legs with the devil's dance
And at last gave her half of my heart
To make sure that we were never apart

There must have been a mix up along the way
I must have made a mistake
Now listen closely to what I'm gonna say
If you cross me, I'll cut you

There must have been a mix up along the way
I must have made a mistake
Now listen closely to what I'm gonna say
If you cross me, I'll cut you

One morning when I woke
To the blackest cloud of smoke
Seems the neighbors had conspired
To bring the house down with fire
Just my luck my devil bride
Filled her lover's arms to hide
I brought you into this world
I will take you out baby girl
There must have been a mix up along the way
I must have made a mistake
Now listen closely to what I'm gonna say
If you cross me, I'll cut you

There must have been a mix up along the way
I must have made a mistake
Now listen closely to what I'm gonna say
If you cross me, I'll cut you

There must have been a mix up along the way
I must have made a mistake
Now listen closely to what I'm gonna say
If you cross me, I'll cut you

There must have been a mix up along the way
I must have made a mistake
You weren't supposed to know how to run away
If you cross me, I'll cut you

If you cross me, I'll cut you
