Lyrics: The Decemberists. A Bower Scene.

?Thou unconsolable daughter,? said the sister

?When wilt thou trouble the water in the cistern??

And what irascible blackguard is the father?

And when young Margaret's waistline grew wider?

The fruit of her amorous centwine inside her

And so our heroine withdraws to the taiga
