Artist/Band: Richard Thompson
Lyrics for Song: Auldie Riggs
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Richard Thompson



My name is Auldie Riggs

And I am a seaman, second rate

I'll tell you quite a tale

If you've got the price of a drink there, mate

Do you recognize my face?

The picture ran for a week or more

When I left her lifeless body on the floor



I am a drunken sot

They threw me off a dozen crews

My brain's begun to rot

I'm so beholden to the booze

And I broke that Liza's neck

I squeezed her till she breathed no more

And I left her lifeless body on the floor



And I don't feel no sympathy

And your disgust to me's the highest praise

She had it coming don't you know

Cause I got wise to all her little ways



Whores and b*tches, all are Riggs' slaves



There's many I've dispatched

Now tell me was it 8 or 9?

I throttled 'em, I stabbed 'em

Dissolved 'em in a vat of lime

I used to know their names

But Liza was the last, the whore,

And I left her lifeless body on the floor



And you won't get no remorse from me

I'm happy as a kitten with the cream

I did her and the others too

I dare to do what some men only dream



How I love to hear that piercing scream



That Mary was a tramp

She used to give the boys a wink

I took some souvenirs

Before I drowned her in the sink

I kept her cheating heart

And her pretty eyes, which I did adore

And I left her lifeless body on the floor



Well I left her lifeless body

I left her lifeless body

Her dirty cheating body

I left her lifeless body on the floor
