G F 
She came in smelling of cabbages 
G F 
Pumpkin roots and all winter's ravages 
Bm A E 
She came in around dawn 
G 
Took her coat off 
D C Bm 
Burdened down by the Russian winter 
A E 
Felt the warmth of the hearth 

G F 
Bathed a while naked in hot water 
G F 
Wash away imminent disaster 
Bm A E 
Thinking through her today 
G 
And the murder 
D C Bm 
Of the bailiff and the landowner 
A 
Felt no shame 
E 
Only gain 

G 
Cleansed the pike 
F 
Peeled all the potatoes 
G F 
Beetroots ripe for bellies of gigolos 
Bm A E G 
Served it up for her son and her daughter 
D C Bm 
For the last time she imagines 
A E 
Reprobates lie in wait
