Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got a woman She rules my house with an iron fist Well I got a woman She rules my house with an iron fist She screams out Jack the Ripper Every time I try to give that girl a kiss [Verse 2] Well I got a woman She strikes me down with a fist of lead Oh yeah Well I got a woman She strikes me down with a hand of lead We bed in a bucket of butcher's knives I awake with a hatchet hanging over my head [Verse 3] Well you know the story of the viper It's long and lean with a poison tooth Oh yeah You know the story of the viper It's long, it's lean, with a poison tooth Well they're hissing under the floorboards Hanging down in bunches from my roof Oh yeah [Verse 4] Well, I got a woman She just hollers what she wants from where she's at Well I got a woman She just hollers what she wants from where she's at Big fists on her hips Standing neat and arching back [Verse 5] Yeah I got a woman She rules my house with an iron fist Yeah I got a woman She rules my house with an iron fist She screams out Jack the Ripper Every time I try to give that girl a kiss Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah
