A more up to date translation for the blues singers amongst might more closely resemble the following:

Woke up this morning, found my virgin child was gone
Woke up this morning, found my virgin child was gone
The Dark Lord come on in and ravished
That little child of Persephone

Hate it when that happens, wearer of green shoots got my girl?
Guess it's reasonable compensation
For being Lord of the Underworld
