lyrics

One girl likes to dress in red with ribbons in her hair
She dances like a summer breeze, as light as morning air
The other likes to dress in white and runs so speedily
And sings so sweetly she can charm the birds down from the trees
One girl likes to catch your eye then quickly look away
She teases with a gentle smile and holds you in her sway
The other likes take your hand and lead you through the night
And lay you down upon a bed of purest blossom white

Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home

Fall prey to seduction and satisfy them well
They'll entice you every night until you break the spell
Their loveliness will phase you but they'll never let you see
That behind each girl's a hollow trunk, a black and rotting tree
The red girl will pluck out your eyes and wear them as her own
She will make you beg and cry and wish you'd stayed at home
The white girl will cut out your tongue and sing a tune so fine
They have lured many men and left them mute and blind

Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home

Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home

Never take a glass of wine with these sisters two
They'll tear apart your body 'til there's nothing left of you
The red girl will drain your blood to dye her dresses in
The white girl will carve your bones and wear your teeth as skin

Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
Never stray far from home
