My Name Songtext
von Danny Sewell

Strong men tremble when they hear it
They′ve got cause enough to fear it
It's much blacker than they smear it
Nobody mentions my name
Rich men hold their five-pound notes
Ah, t′saves me emptyin' their coats
Ah, they know I could tear their throats
Ah, just to live up to my name

With me jimmy in me hand
Let me see the man who dares
Stop me takin' what′s mine
He can start to say his prayers
Biceps like an iron girder
Fit for doin′ of a murder
If I just so much as 'eard
A bloke even whisper my name

Bill Sikes!


Strong men tremble when they hear it
They′ve got cause enough to fear it
It's much blacker than they smear it
Nobody mentions my name

Some toff slappin′ with his valet
Bumped into me in an alley
Now his eyes'll never tally
He never ′eard of my name

One bloke, he used to boast to claim
He could take my name in vain
Ha! Poor bloke, shame he was so green
Never was he seen again

Once bad, what's the good of turnin'?
In hell I′ll be there a-burnin′
Meanwhile, think of what I'm earnin′
All on account of my name

What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
My name!
