Banshee Wife

She makes the kettle boil

without a single spark

A sudden wind is howling

when the sky gets dark

She walks into the kitchen,

the silver begins to shake

I'm counting up the promises I didn't mean to break

My wife is a Banshee

(oh lordy!)

She sings a tune that rattles every bone in me

My wife is a Banshee

(yes she is!) And she's the only one who holds the golden

key

She knows the very hour

I am planning to be late

She's standing by the garden

looking colder than the state

With a grin like a spark

and a temper like a gale

I try to speak up soft but my words begin to fail

My wife is a Banshee

(watch out now!) She sings a tune that rattles every bone in

me

My wife is a Banshee

(yes indeed!) And she's the only one who holds the golden key

She's wilder than the ocean,

she's sharper than a pin

But I wouldn't trade a second of the trouble that I'm in

My wife is a Banshee (hear her wail!) She sings a tune

that rattles every bone in me

My wife is a Banshee (oh yeah!) And she's the only one

who holds the golden key

Yeah, she's my banshee baby! (ha-ha-ha!)
