The Devil weds a widow d**h another's leftovers Better to lie on a willows Rest on alder boughs Than upon a widow's bed On a 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
