Lyrics Miss Mary - The Dead South

Lady killed a man today
Someone out of the way
Didn't know what to do nor what to say
And she ran, oh as fast as she can
To the nearest garbage
Where she threw his body in with a plastic bag
To cover up the rancid smell and decay of her man
Oh, what a tragic plan.
Miss Mary, and her man.
Never killed no one before, never seen such blood
When she heard a man a-thump, she grabbed that six-shooter gun.
There was nothing he could do, nothing he could say
He was naked with another woman, screwin' around that day.
One! (Hey!) Two! (Hey) Three! (Hey!) Four! (Hey!)
Was this for real?
Five! (Hey!) Six! (Hey!) Seven! (Hey!) Eight! (Hey!)
She woke up on the floor of the jail
It was just an illusion, toxic thrill.
Kill her man and-
Thing about Miss Mary was she took to many pills.
Voices in her head are calling out.
Miss Mary, and her man.
She woke up from a dream, seeing blood about.
Her husband was innocent, she killed him anyhow.
La-la-la la-la-la, la-la-la la-la
La-la la-la la-la-la, la-la la-la la
Oh, Miss Mary shootin' about.
Killed her man with, illusion and doubt
O-oh o-oh o-oh, o-oh o-oh o-oh, o-oh o-oh o-oh
O-oh o-oh o-oh, o-oh o-oh o-oh, o-oh o-oh o-oh
