The Viking's Wife Lyrics

When he comes home

He looks terrible and stinks

His blade is blunt

And his heart is dull

My task is to put that right again

I patch him up

I take care of his needs

I sober him up

And

Give him a nice place to sleep

He gets terribly drunk

He plunders and steals

And when he sneaks off

He makes sure that wives of others weep

When he hangs around

He's loving and happy

His weapon always armed

And his heart grounded

My task is to keep that going

I patch him up

I take care of his needs

I sober him up

And

Give him a nice place to sleep

He gets terribly drunk

He plunders and steals

And when he sneaks off

He makes sure that wives of others weep

When he sails again

He's clean and smells fine

His sword sharp

And his heart full

My task was to put that right again

I patch him up

I take care of his needs

I sober him up

And

Give him a nice place to sleep

He gets terribly drunk

He plunders and steals

And when he sneaks off

He makes sure that wives of others weep

I patched him up

I took care of his needs

I sobered him up

And

Gave him a nice place to sleep
