Against Widows lyrics

The Devil weds a widow

Death, another's leftovers

Better to lie on willows

Rest on alder boughs

Than upon a widow's bed

Used woman's pillow

Sweeter the side of a fence

Than a widow's flank

Sweeter the side of a fence

Than a widow's flank

Sweeter the side of a fence

Softer the side of a grove

Than a widow's beside is

Softer the side of a grove

The Devil weds a widow

The grave one twice wed

A widow's hand is rougher

Than a dry spruce bough

With which she strikes the playful

Grabs the one who laughs

A widow has had her games

And spent a merry evening

Sweeter the side of a fence

Sweeter the side of a fence

Softer the side of a grove

Softer the side of a grove

With which she strikes the playful

Grabs the one who laughs

A widow has had her games

And spent a merry evening
