Chainsaw

Sweet Charlene McGray

Pretty as a posie in the springtime

She would twirl around all day

Get dizzy and she'd fall down in a haze

And the country breeze passed slowly as I went to her

I knocked upon her solid wooden door

But her father, he just looked at me and said "leave or I'll call the law"

So I cut her pa in half with a chainsaw

She always had a way

Of giving all the neighbor boys sensations

They would close their eyes and pray

That their Christian God would lead them from temptation

But her mama didn't want that girl to grow up

And end up with a heathen like myself

Well, she always tried to tell Charlene about my little flaws

So I cut her ma in half with a chainsaw

And now sweet Charlene McGray

She's all mine, there's nothing to divide us

On that sunny day in May

It was time to ask that girl to be my bride

So I got down on one knee and took her finger

And I said to her, "Charlene, will you be mine?"

But she just kept complaining that I killed her ma and pa

So I cut Charlene in half with a chainsaw
