A Ballad Concerning Black Betty or the Retelling of a Man Killer

In the nowhere town of Mojo, there is a truce, there is a Council, and there is Black Betty, a Man Killer

Tale of my life ain't for the faint. It ain't no love story or whimsical bemusing. I's never good at all that. Mine's of a different sort, of a town starved and hungering for death, of betrayal and deceit of the worst kind-- goes down yar throat like glass but refuses the taking of ya. A place where blood is paid with blood and trust comes by the tip of a blade. Mojo's full up of people like me, that's the life of a Scratcher.
