The Hazards Of Love (Revenge!)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Father I'm not feeling well, the flowers me you fed
Tasted spoiled for suddenly I find that I am dead
But father don't you fear, your children all are here
Singing oh . . . the hazards of love
Papa turn the water down, the basin's overflown
The water covers everything and me left all alone
But papa here in death, I have regained my breath
To sing oh . . . the hazards of love
To sing oh . . . the hazards of love
Spare the rod, you'll spoil the child, but I prefer the lash
My sisters drowned and poisoned all and me reduced to ash
And buried in an urn, but father I return
Singing oh . . . the hazards of love
Singing oh . . . the hazards of love
