I realised that there are lots of traditional songs about women's broken hearts and how men are evil, such as Silver Dagger......so I wrote this last night....
I Was Killed by Love
well whiskey killed poor daddy-o,
sent him to his grave,
40 hard years of drinking,
his life could not be saved,
and now, just like my daddy-o,
i'm headin' for the heaven above,
well there's health warnings on whiskey,
but there ain't no warning on love.
well I,
found a lady who was like an angel,
a n'er there was a lady so fine,
but she left me waitin' and she, kept me waitin'
and now I die 1000 times...inside.
well a bullet killed poor johnny-o,
he was a soldier in the war,
his wife she laments for him,
and she won't see him anymore.
and now, just like poor johnny-o,
i'm headin' for the heaven above,
there's a lot of bravery in going to war,
but there's none when falling in love.
well I,
found a lady who was like an angel,
a n'er there was a lady so fine,
but she left me waitin' and she, kept me waitin'
and now I die 1000 times...inside.
Well tommy was killed by Leviathan,
while he was out fishing one night,
a wave struck the ship, and he was tossed away,
before he could put up a fight.
and now, just like poor tommy-o,
im headin' for the heaven above,
Leviathan was a ruthless creature,
but so are the women we love.
well I,
found a lady who was like an angel,
a n'er there was a lady so fine,
but she left me waitin' and she, kept me waitin'
and now I die 1000 times...inside.
