[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
Alright, alright, alright
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
[Verse 3]
First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn
Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery
Mercifully taking her mother along
[Refrain]
Alright, alright, alright
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
[Refrain]
Alright, alright, alright
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
[Verse 3]
First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn
Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery
Mercifully taking her mother along
[Refrain]
Alright, alright, alright
