Sit down here beside me[00:00:00]

Come on here I'll all tell[00:00:03]

Of lonely old Axe Mountain town[00:00:08]

And Lester Joseph Cale[00:00:12]

In a place the men would work by day [00:00:16]

The women worked at night[00:00:19]

And came together evening time[00:00:23]

To love and then to fight[00:00:27]

Long hours did the women work[00:00:32]

And hard their burden was [00:00:36]

So doubly hard they worried when[00:00:41]

Young Lily May was lost[00:00:44]

Lily May was mourned[00:01:04]

Another week passed in the rain[00:01:06]

Until the day of harvest came[00:01:08]

And we were missing Jane[00:01:09]

Another season's toil gone [00:01:13]

Another season's more;[00:01:16]

'Til Lily Jane and dozens still[00:01:18]

Were buried on the Moor[00:01:20]

What did their husbands say [00:01:21]

They simply cowered weak and frail[00:01:25]

For none would dare to speak that name [00:01:29]

Lester Joseph Cale[00:01:33]

Axe Mountain town you let those women[00:01:37]

Die by the knife[00:01:40]

A lover did I have for sure[00:01:42]

I'll love her all my life[00:01:44]

He came out of the darkness[00:01:50]

With a rucksack made of skin[00:01:52]

And as soon as he was seen[00:01:54]

He was gone again[00:01:56]

I heard he'd been a murderer[00:02:00]

Fifty years or more[00:02:01]

Heard he killed whole villages[00:02:03]

All across the Moor[00:02:05]

I'm told he had a family[00:02:07]

A child and a wife[00:02:09]

But now no woman here was safe[00:02:10]

From Lester Joseph Cale's knife[00:02:12]

"Stand up Be strong We'll take him "[00:02:15]

Said the bravest of the men[00:02:18]

Dead in his bed was found that night[00:02:20]

In pieces there were ten[00:02:21]

'All shall be bled' was written[00:02:23]

In red on the bedroom wall[00:02:24]

His Helena she saw this[00:02:27]

And she fled across the Moor[00:02:28]

Axe Mountain town you let those women[00:02:33]

Die by the knife[00:02:36]

A lover did I have for sure[00:02:38]

I'll love her all my life[00:02:40]

She climbed up old Axe Mountain[00:03:18]

And she raised her hands and cried:[00:03:20]

"Grant me a weapon gods of mine [00:03:22]

That Lester Cale mroys die"[00:03:27]

The sky did crack and split the mountain[00:03:33]

Helena reached inside[00:03:35]

Pulled out an axe so terrible[00:03:37]

That any man would die[00:03:39]

She screamed with rage[00:03:43]

And flung herself into the town below[00:03:44]

Tore off her clothes and waited for[00:03:47]

Lester Joseph Cale to show[00:03:48]

And so he did he came and laughed:[00:03:50]

"Little girl what is your plan [00:03:52]

You're alone here it's just you and me[00:03:54]

I butchered your old man"[00:03:56]

Said she: "Bastard Don't speak his name [00:03:57]

Don't mention my old man "[00:04:00]

And so she struck him in the face[00:04:01]

And cut off both his hands[00:04:03]

She cut him five three[00:04:04]

'Til she could cut no more[00:04:06]

She fed his meat and bones[00:04:08]

To wild dogs upon the Moor[00:04:09]

Axe Mountain town you let those women[00:04:17]

Die by the knife[00:04:18]

A lover did I have for sure[00:04:21]

I'll love her all[00:04:23]

The seasons passed and[00:04:48]

Helena remained there 'til she died[00:04:50]

The men went off in search[00:04:52]

Of better jobs and living brides[00:04:53]

But a woman there was mine [00:04:58]

I loved her more than life[00:05:00]

So scared was I[00:05:02]

So scared of Lester Joseph Cale was I [00:05:05]

So scared was I[00:05:10]

I could not protect my wife[00:05:12]

Axe Mountain town you let my women[00:05:22]

Die by the blade[00:05:27]

A lover did I know for sure[00:05:31]

Regret it every day[00:05:34]

Axe Mountain town you let those women[00:05:39]

Die by the knife[00:05:45]

A lover did I have for sure[00:05:47]

I'll love her[00:05:50]

And I miss her all my life[00:05:52]
