Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Lady we've just kidnapped your husband
Have $800,000 ready by tomorrow nightand lady no policeor you'll never see your husband alive again
Lady:
Hallo
I remember standing there so petrifiedmy hand frozen to the phoneas a stranger's words that caught in my earsand chilled me to the bone
Some dark tragedy had come right home to methey'd kidnapped my man and his life was in their hands
CHORUS:
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands
Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Lady, here's your husband throughto warn not to play any games
Husband:
Hi honey listen I'm okay
Just make sure you do whatever they tell youand whatever you do don't go to the police!
Well I couldn't raise that kinda money fastso I was left no other choiceso I called the police and they came in fastsaying "leave it up to usjust do as they toldthe ransom's in this bagwe'll watch over youand we'll have your husband back too"REPEAT CHORUS
Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Listen very carefully lady
Drive out to the abandoned shack on Highway 16throw the package of money out the window and keep drivingand remember lady no police!
Well my heart was heavy as I made that drive
I was sure something was wrong
I soon found the shack
I threw out the bag and I just kept driving on
Then the shots rang out and I turned my car about
On the ground one lay but the other one had gotten away
REPEAT CHORUS
Lady:
Well they found my husband a few days later
Yes, the funeral's tomorrow
