Inheritor's Powder

They say she murdered her husband
Put arsenic in his tea
They say she made a small fortune
Insurance money
They say she moved across country
Upped sticks and fled
They say wherever she lived
Someone ended up dead

They say she worked as a governess
Married her boss
They say she hated his children
Topped them all off
People near her never live long
Dear god, let them be wrong!

Dear god
I'm begging you
I love this woman
Don't let it be true

They say her mother's her sister
Her brother's her dad
They say the devil's inside her
She was born bad
Dear lord, I pray for my life
Why did no-one say nothing til she was my wife?!

She's started hoarding poison
Said we've got rats
She said she's got no choice
She's allergic to cats
She took a policy on me
Just to be safe
I haven't been feeling myself of late

Dear god
I'm begging you
I love this woman
Don't let it be tru
