The Rake's Song |
| I had entered into a marriage |
| In the summer of my twenty-first year |
| And the bells rang for our wedding |
| Only now do I remember it clear |
| Alright, alright, alright |
| No more a rake and no more a bachelor |
| I was wedded and it whetted my thirst |
| Until her womb start spilling out babies |
| Only then did I reckon my curse |
| Alright, alright, alright |
| Alright, alright, alright |
| First came Isiah with his crinkled little fingers |
| Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn |
| Ugly Methanley died on delivery |
| Mercifully taking her mother along |
| Alright, alright, alright |
| What can one do when one is widower |
| Shamefully saddled with three little pests |
| All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life |
| So my burden I began to divest |
| Alright, alright, alright |
| Alright, alright, alright |
| Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove |
| Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath |
| Eziah fought but was easily bested |
| Burned his body for incurring my wrath |
| Alright, alright, alright |
| And that’s how I came your humble narrator |
| To be living so easy and free |
| Expect you think that I should be haunted |
| But it never really bothers me Alright, alright, alright |
| Alright, alright, alright |
