The Ballad Of Renegade Nell (feat. Nick Cave)

The Ballad Of Renegade Nell

Compositor: Oli Julian, Nick Foster

Too swift for your gun, stronger than stone
In a heartbeat a whisper can marry a moan
If she comes for you cower you poor ne’er do well
You better hide while you can, from Renegade Nell

She lives by the Sun and she rides by the Moon
Whether thief on the take or seasoned dragoon
She’ll follow you down to the bowels of hell
Oh, you better run from, run from, run from, Renegade Nell

No quarter she’ll take, for shes sharper than steel
No scoundrel is safe from the power she wields
In Englands dark corners great legends they tell
Of fateful melees, with Renegade Nell

So hear me my friend heed counsel I beg
Pray it isn’t yourself but another instead
Let another poor soul hear the toll of the bell
Oh, you better run from, run from, run from, Renegade Nell
