[E]I came upon a butcher,
he was sl[A]aughtering a lamb,
[E]I accused him there
with hi[B7]s tortured lamb.
He said "L[E]isten to me, child,
[A]I am what I am
[E]and you, [B7]you are my only s[A]on."
[/] [E] [/]
[E]Well, I found a silver needle,
[A]I put it into my arm.
[E]It did some good,
[B7]did some harm.
[E]But the nights were cold
and it [A]almost kept me warm,
[E]how c[B7]ome the night is l[A]ong?
[/] [E] [/]
[E]I saw some flowers growing up
where that l[A]amb fell down;
was I supposed[E] to praise my Lord,
make some kind of[B7] joyful sound?
He said, "L[E]isten, listen to me now,
[A]I go round and round
[E]and you, y[B7]ou are my only ch[A]ild."
[/] [E] [/]
[E]Do not leave me now,
do not l[A]eave me now,
[E]I'm broken down
[B7]from a recent fall.
[E]Blood upon my body
and [A]ice upon my soul,
[E]lead on, my s[B7]on, it is your w[A]orld.
