The Decemberists - The Rake's Song[00:00:01]

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[00:00:21]

Alright, alright, alright[00:00:24]

No more a rake and no more a bachelor[00:00:33]

I was wedded and it whetted my thirst[00:00:38]

Until her womb start spilling out babies[00:00:41]

Only then did I reckon my curse[00:00:45]

Alright, alright, alright[00:00:49]

Alright, alright, alright[00:00:57]

First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers[00:01:09]

Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn[00:01:14]

Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery[00:01:19]

Mercifully taking her mother along[00:01:23]

Alright, alright, alright[00:01:27]

What can one do when one is widower[00:01:35]

Shamefully saddled with three little pests[00:01:39]

All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life[00:01:44]

So my burden I began to divest[00:01:48]

Alright, alright, alright[00:01:52]

Alright, alright, alright[00:01:59]

Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove[00:02:12]

Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath[00:02:17]

Isaiah fought but was easily bested[00:02:21]

Burned his body for incurring my wrath[00:02:25]

Alright, alright, alright[00:02:29]

And that's how I came your humble narrator[00:02:37]

To be living so easy and free[00:02:42]

Expect you think that I should be haunted[00:02:46]

But it never really bothers me[00:02:50]

Alright, alright, alright[00:02:54]

Alright, alright, alright[00:03:01]
