Careful what you wish for, it could end up bleeding out on the floor

"Crimson Wedding Gown"
Lefty & His Right-Hand Band live off the floor at The Rock Loftster
February 2024
Ottawa, ON

lyrics

how long I yearned to hold her -- all the lonely nights
one day she said we'd marry -- what a heavenly delight
my one my one my one true love -- mine forever more
how could i know the tragedy that lay so close in store

she came to me on wedding night -- tears fell from her eyes
agony did rip her face and this my darling cried
my lord my lord my lord has struck me with a fatal blow
his knife he thrust deep inside and here my blood does flow

on the day we said our vows she wore a wedding gown of white
that turned an evil crimson on our fateful wedding night
she cried for mercy from the lord as she fell down to the ground
i'll never shake the vision of the crimson wedding gown, no
i'll never shake the vision of the crimson wedding gown

i held my darling sweetheart -- laid her down to rest
cried at all the could have been -- on a day i should be blessed
my one my one my one true love -- ripped away from me
i'd helped to ease her pain -- there's no medicine for me

the moonlight through the window -- made clear an awful sight
the crimson flowered slowly -- to overtake the white
my lord my lord my lord why me i've waited oh so long
now here i am alone again -- with nothing but a song

on the day we said our vows she wore a wedding gown of white
that turned an evil crimson on our fateful wedding night
i cried for mercy from the lord as she lay there on the ground
i'll never shake the vision of the crimson wedding gown, no
i'll never shake the vision of the crimson wedding gown
