Sultan, So Mighty - Vic Chesnutt

I’m here because I’m a eunuch

I am no threat

I’m here to watch the ladies

And to fan away their sweat

And the sultan, so mighty

Comes crawling to me

When he has a little problem

With the ladies

I’m here because I am a eunuch

I’m perfectly safe

I’m here to bring the ladies

Hot towels when they bathe

And the sultan, so mighty

Wants to talk to me

When he needs a little help

With the ladies

And what he don’t know

Won’t hurt him

What we know

Would never hurt him

But he would hurt us

If he knew what we know

I’m here because I am a eunuch

A trusted confidant

I’m here to serve the ladies

They tell me what they want

And the sultan, so mighty

Has to go through me

When he’s having trouble pleasing

Certain ladies

And what he don’t know

Won’t hurt him

What we know

Would never hurt him

But he would hurt us

If he knew what we know
