Against Widows

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The Devil weds a widow Death another's leftovers Better to lie on a willows Rest on alder boughs [Verse 2] Then upon a widow's bed On a used woman's pillow Sweeter the side of a fence Than a widow's flank [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 3] The Devil weds a widow The grave one twice wed A widow's hand is rougher Than a dry spruce bough [Verse 4] With which she strikes the playful Grabs the one who laughs A widow has had her games And spent a merry evening [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 2] Sweeter the side of a fence Sweeter the side of a fence Softer the side of a grove Softer the side of a grove [Outro] With which she strikes the playful Grabs the one who laughs A widow has had her games And spent a merry evening
