Lyrics
Well, I got a woman She rules my house with an iron fist Well, I got a woman She rules my house with an iron fist She screams out, "Jack the Ripper" Every time I try to give that girl a kiss Well, I got a woman She strikes me down with a fist of lead, oh yeah Yes, I got a woman She strikes me down with a fist of lead We bed in a bucket of butcher's knives I awake with a hatchet hanging over my head Well you know the story of the viper It's long and lean with poison tooth Well, you know the story of the viper It's long, it's lean with poison tooth Well, they're hissin' under the floorboards Hanging down in bunches from my roof Well, I got a woman She just hollers what she wants from where she's at Well, I got a woman She just hollers what she wants from where she's at [Incomprehensible] Yeah, I got a woman She rules my house with an iron fist, oh yeah Well, I got a woman She rules my house with an iron fist She screams out, "Jack the Ripper" Every time I try to give that girl a kiss, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
