All through the night,
Across the empty sky,
By the candle light,
You sang so high, like a canary,
You sang like a canary,
Oh and I loved you,
More than most guys do.
Oh Rebecca you changed your tune,
Oh Rebecca what did you do?

You lied to save your skin,
You squealed like a little pig,
Ten different devils came knocking at your door,
And you, you dizzy whore you let them all in.
Oh Rebecca you’re covered in sin,
Oh and I loved you,
More than most guys do.
Oh Rebecca you changed your tune,
Oh what did you?

Oh you slipped through,
The gaps in the history book,
Oh Rebecca what happened to you?
I’ve looked all over for you.

You sent the witches to the gallows,
Your mother to the grave,
You told a lie so you could be saved,
But you can’t be saved,
No, no you can’t be saved.

Oh and I loved you,
More than most guys do
Oh Rebecca you changed your tune,
Oh what did you do?

Oh and I loved you,
More than most guys do
More than the gunsmith, the vintner, the fiddler, the chaplain
The clothier, the pedlar, the chandler, the king.

Oh and I first saw you,
In the town where the mistletoe grew,
Rebecca what happened to you?

I loved you, I loved you, I loved you,
Rebecca what happened to you?‎
