"I think I'll call him roderigo"

dress him up in dark clothes,  sell him away
 
Dsus2                   D/F#
standing underneath her gun
 
D5                         D/F#
"sit up straight or I'll hurt you"
 
F#m/C#                  E/B                    Dsus2
you know he's not her only son, just the strongest

stayed fit to name him what's he's going to be yeah
 
G                     D
tied him up with her rope you know it
