[00:07.00]
[00:08.55]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]
