Trust placed in a wife, a fateful deed,
Alas, what was done, a sorrowful creed.
The wife, she did strike, a blow unforeseen,
Alas, what was done, a desolate scene.

Today, voices depart, hands clasped in plea,
Today, voices depart, forever to be
Alone with the widows, trust, misplaced and frail,
Alas, what was done, a mournful wail,
Alas, what was done, a sorrowful tale.

The sands of Bombay, they made us believe,
The sands of Bombay, a sorrow to grieve.
Trust placed in stallions, a foolish design,
Alas, what was done, a fate so malign,
Alas, what was done, a sorrowful sign.

A radish was promised, but eggplant in hand,
A radish was promised, in a barren land.
Trust placed in the gardener, a harvest of woe,
Alas, what was done, the seeds didn't grow,
Alas, what was done, the tears overflow.

In the hotel, today, clothes auctioned away,
In the hotel, today, a sorrowful day.
Trust placed in companions, a friendship betrayed,
Alas, what was done, a heart now dismayed,
Alas, what was done, a debt now is paid.

Trust placed in a wife, a fateful deed,
Alas, what was done, a sorrowful creed.
The wife, she did strike, a blow unforeseen,
Alas, what was done, a desolate scene.
