I had entered into a marriage |
| [00:12.71] |
In the summer of my twenty-first year |
| [00:16.69] |
And the bells rang for our wedding |
| [00:21.12] |
Only now do I remember it clear |
| [00:24.64] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [00:30.81] |
|
| [00:33.27] |
No more a rake and no more a bachelor |
| [00:38.03] |
I was wedded and it whetted my thirst |
| [00:41.86] |
Until her womb start spilling out babies |
| [00:45.88] |
Only then did I reckon my curse |
| [00:49.84] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [00:57.50] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [01:04.09] |
|
| [01:09.60] |
First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers |
| [01:14.64] |
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn |
| [01:19.29] |
Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery |
| [01:23.09] |
Mercifully taking her mother along |
| [01:27.50] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [01:32.98] |
|
| [01:35.56] |
What can one do when one is widower |
| [01:39.94] |
Shamefully saddled with three little pests |
| [01:44.05] |
All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life |
| [01:48.29] |
So my burden I began to divest |
| [01:52.51] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [01:59.65] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [02:06.73] |
|
| [02:12.51] |
Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove |
| [02:17.59] |
Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath |
| [02:21.62] |
Isaiah fought but was easily bested |
| [02:25.77] |
Burned his body for incurring my wrath |
| [02:29.56] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [02:35.95] |
|
| [02:37.72] |
And that's how I came your humble narrator |
| [02:42.71] |
To be living so easy and free |
| [02:46.66] |
Expect you think that I should be haunted |
| [02:50.76] |
But it never really bothers me |
| [02:54.09] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [03:01.96] |
Alright, alright, alright |
| [03:11.97] |
