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
A widow's flank
Sweeter the side of a fence
Softer the side of a grove
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
