Bold Marauder - Nellie McKay

It’s hi, ho, hey

I am the bold marauder

And hi, ho, hey

I am the white destroyer

For I will show you silver and gold

And I will bring you treasure

I will wave a widowing flag

And I will be your lover

And I will show you grotto and cave

And sacrificial alter

And I will show you blood on the stone

And I will be your mentor

And night

Will be

Our darling

And fear

Will be

Our name

It’s hi, ho, hey

I am the bold marauder

And hi, ho, hey

I am the white destroyer

For I will take you out by the hand

And lead you to the hunter

And I will show you thunder and steel

And I will be your teacher

And we will dress in helmet and sword

And dip our tongues in slaughter

And we will sing a warrior’s song

And lift the praise of murder

And Christ will be our darling

And fear will be our name

It’s hi, ho, hey

I am the bold marauder

And hi, ho, hey

I am the white destroyer

For I will sour the winds on high

And I will soil the river

And I will burn the grain in the field

And I will be your mother

And I will go to ravage and kill

And I will go to plunder

And I will take a Fury to wife

And I will be your father

And death will be our darling

And fear will be our name
