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