The Devil Took My Woman
Dennis suggested the title, Euripides suggested the rest. Μωροσ γαρ μορα λεγει.
The devil took my woman
Rose before the dawn
Flew out to a hilltop
As her spirit filled up
She tore a fawn to pieces
And made a fleece of
That little fawn
The devil held a wolf pup
To my woman’s breast
She just calmly smiled
Thought it was her child
She nursed a bear
Snakes in her hair
Loose and untressed
The devil took my woman
He gave her the power
As a fortune-teller
Blind as Helen Keller
Strumming on a lyre
With a bolt of fire
He broke my tower
Then the devil took me
Turned me to a goat
Well, up came the priestess
Wearing a meat dress
Like a housewife
She grabbed a stone knife
And slit my throat
