The Rake's Song - The Decemberists (十二月党)[00:00:00]
I had entered into a marriage[00:00:08]
In the summer of my twenty-first year[00:00:12]
And the bells rang for our wedding[00:00:16]
Only now do I remember it clear[00:00:19]
Alright alright alright[00:00:23]
No more a rake and no more a bachelor[00:00:31]
I was wedded and it whetted my thirst[00:00:35]
Until her womb start spilling out babies[00:00:39]
Only then did I reckon my curse[00:00:43]
Alright alright alright[00:00:46]
Alright alright alright[00:00:54]
First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers[00:01:06]
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn[00:01:10]
Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery[00:01:14]
Mercifully taking her mother along[00:01:18]
Alright alright alright[00:01:21]
What can one do when one is widower[00:01:30]
Shamefully saddled with three little pests[00:01:34]
All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life[00:01:37]
So my burden I began to divest[00:01:41]
Alright alright alright[00:01:45]
Alright alright alright[00:01:52]
Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove[00:02:20]
Dawn was easy she was drowned in the bath[00:02:24]
Isaiah fought but was easily bested[00:02:28]
Burned his body for incurring my wrath[00:02:32]
Alright alright alright[00:02:35]
And that's how I came your humble narrator[00:02:43]
To be living so easy and free[00:02:48]
Expect you think that I should be haunted[00:02:51]
But it never really bothers me[00:02:56]
Alright alright alright[00:02:59]
Alright alright alright[00:03:06]
