lyrics

Two whores stood before the king
Alice told him "Sarah took my son
The child that she bore was dead
So she took away my baby"

Sarah said "no, I've been good
Gave birth to a healthy child
In the morning when I woke
He was feeding at my breast

Then I looked to see this whore
Hold her stillborn in her arms
I'm not smart but this I know
Dead babies drink no milk"

Alice said "my king, I swear
This living child you see is mine
In the morning when I woke
In his crib was Sarah's son"

So the king said to his slave
"Bring a sword before my throne
Cut the baby child in half
Give one half each to the whores"

Alice cried out screaming "no
I'd rather see him live with her"
Sarah said "cut him in half
He'll be neither mine nor hers."
