This is a song I wrote a couple of years ago. In the bush, a widow maker is either a hung up tree or a wind shook tree that sometimes splits as it falls. Could also be a branch that gets knocked off when falling. A widow maker can apply to any activity that can kill you if you're not paying attention. If you're dancing with the 'Widow Makers' wife, you could be doing any activity that has a hint of danger to it. Mostly fun stuff!
