《The Rake’s Song》歌词

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

[00:00:08] I had entered into a marriage

[00:00:12] In the summer of my twenty-first year

[00:00:16] And the bells rang for our wedding

[00:00:21] Only now do I remember it clear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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