Текст песни All Hell Broke Lucy - Live - Cold Chisel

A winter's cold, 1843
In a whiskey rage, and a heart would bleed
She found a fancy-man, that would do the deed
Take old Henry's life and set Lucretia free

She said she hated him unless they both were drunk
She swore she'd leave him cold, in the corner slumped
Before the eyes were cold, she had the body dumped
At the break of day Lucretia came undone

And the hangman told her the truth
She could dance with the devil on the end of a noose
Found the pain inside from the very start
All hell broke Lucy, it tore her apart

Just a spot of blood on the bed was found
It was hers not his, she was heard to shout
As they led her away and her hands were bound
Lucretia's eyes were cold, as the cold, hard ground

And the hangman told her the truth
She could dance with the devil on the end of the noose
Felt the pain inside from the very start
All hell broke Lucy, it tore her apart, yes it did
It tore her apart, hey yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The trial was short, the lovers had confessed
The rope was tied and slipped around their necks
And on holy ground where she could never rest
And the turb off said the night Lucretia left

And the hangman told her the truth
Dance with the devil on the end of the noose
Felt the pain inside from the very start
All hell broke Lucy, it tore her apart

The hangman told her the truth
Dance with the devil on the end of the noose
Felt the pain inside from the very start
All hell broke Lucy, it tore her apart

(Hell broke Lucy)
(All hell broke Lucy) yes it did
(Hell broke Lucy) it tore her apart
(All hell broke Lucy) it tore her apart
(Hell broke Lucy) it tore her apart
(All hell broke Lucy) yes it tore her apart
(Hell broke Lucy) it tore her apart
(All hell broke Lucy) oh

All hell broke Lucy, it tore her apart
(All hell broke Lucy) it tore her apart
Hell broke Lucy
All hell broke Lucy, well it tore her apart
All hell broke Lucy, it tore her apart
All hell broke Lucy, it tore her apart
Hell broke Lucy, it tore her apart
All hell broke Lucy, yes it tore her apart
