Tale of a Black Country Murder...

lyrics

Why did they put you there?
My cold and hard done dear
Said being a spy don’t pay
It ‘aint the normal way

Hey Bella, why did they put you in the elm?
Its been many a’years for you
With your bones collecting dust
Were you a spy? Were you an innocent?
Were you a lie? from the government?
Well know one will know who the Bella could be
Could be a different girl under a different tree.

The poacher’s sons they cried
To Bella’s bones inside
What did they do to you Bella
My cold and hard done dear.

Take your money now Bella
We’ll never find your killer
And where you lay this is where you’ll stay
We’ll never find you Bella
Take your body now Bella
We’ll never find your killer
And where you lay this is where you’ll stay….
