《The Rake’s Song(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rake's Song - The Decemberists (十二月党)

[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

[00:00:19] Only now do I remember it clear

[00:00:23] Alright alright alright

[00:00:31] No more a rake and no more a bachelor

[00:00:35] I was wedded and it whetted my thirst

[00:00:39] Until her womb start spilling out babies

[00:00:43] Only then did I reckon my curse

[00:00:46] Alright alright alright

[00:00:54] Alright alright alright

[00:01:06] First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers

[00:01:10] Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn

[00:01:14] Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery

[00:01:18] Mercifully taking her mother along

[00:01:21] Alright alright alright

[00:01:30] What can one do when one is widower

[00:01:34] Shamefully saddled with three little pests

[00:01:37] All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life

[00:01:41] So my burden I began to divest

[00:01:45] Alright alright alright

[00:01:52] Alright alright alright

[00:02:20] Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove

[00:02:24] Dawn was easy she was drowned in the bath

[00:02:28] Isaiah fought but was easily bested

[00:02:32] Burned his body for incurring my wrath

[00:02:35] Alright alright alright

[00:02:43] And that's how I came your humble narrator

[00:02:48] To be living so easy and free

[00:02:51] Expect you think that I should be haunted

[00:02:56] But it never really bothers me

[00:02:59] Alright alright alright

[00:03:06] Alright alright alright
