Bella Donna

We laid anchor in Spain
All our efforts in vain
Just to be free of this cursed place
As I walked through the streets
Under shadow of sin
I spied a red lantern and made my way in
In all of my years
All around this world
No woman has bewitched be so
With her sweet olive skin
And her eyes set ablaze
Bella Donna near drove me insane

"Bella Donna" I said
"My coin has been stolen
From dicing and drinking and whoring and game"
She said "My dear man
There's a favor you could do me
For I once was wealthy with title and fame
Down that dark alley
A merchant you'll see
Peddling what once was my own
Go there in darkness
And steal what you can
For he has no guardsman and stands there alone"

Bella Donna
Mi tonto corazón
Asesina
Left me all on my own

Bella Donna
Matadora

I've stolen my way
From Nassau to London
One Spanish merchant stood no chance at all
And just as she said
There weren't any guardsmen
One blow to the head and the merchant did fall
Back down the alley
I fled from the scene
By reflex I reached for my gun
Donna did cry
As I flew through the doorway
For I did not realize the deed I had done

Bella Donna
Mi tonto corazón
Asesina
Left me all on my own

Bella Donna
Matadora

Bella Donna soon took
All the gold and the plunder
But this Spanish maiden was not as she said
For she already sent for
Two guards from the navy
And told me the price for murder was my head
Now I hear the navy
Came down on my crew
No survivors from what I can tell
But I'll see them again
When I hang from the gallows
At least I'll be welcome when I get to hell
