Auldie Riggs Lyrics - Electric [deluxe 2cd] - Richard Thompson

My name is Auldie Riggs 

And I am a seaman, second rate 

I'll tell you quite a tale 

If you've got the price of a drink there, mate 

Do you recognize my face? 

The picture ran for a week or more 

When I left her lifeless body on the floor 

I am a drunken sot 

They threw me off a dozen crews 

My brain's begun to rot 

I'm so beholden to the booze 

And I broke that Liza's neck 

I squeezed her till she breathed no more 

And I left her lifeless body on the floor

And I don't feel no sympathy 

And your disgust to me's the highest praise 

She had it coming don't you know 

Cause I got wise to all her little ways 

Whores and b*tches, all are Riggs' slaves 

There's many I've dispatched 

Now tell me was it 8 or 9? 

I throttled 'em, I stabbed 'em 

Dissolved 'em in a vat of lime 

I used to know their names 

But Liza was the last, the whore, 

And I left her lifeless body on the floor 

And you won't get no remorse from me 

I'm happy as a kitten with the cream 

I did her and the others too 

I dare to do what some men only dream 

How I love to hear that piercing scream 

Photos 

That Mary was a tramp 

She used to give the boys a wink 

I took some souvenirs 

Before I drowned her in the sink 

I kept her cheating heart 

And her pretty eyes, which I did adore 

And I left her lifeless body on the floor 

Well I left her lifeless body 

I left her lifeless body 

Her dirty cheating body 

I left her lifeless body on the floor
