Lyrics
As I was rambled
Down by the water
I spied in sable
The landlord's daughter
Produced my pistol, then my saber
To make no whistle or thou will be murdered
She cursed, she shivered
She cried for mercy,
"My gold and silver if thou will release me!"
I'll take no gold miss, I'll take no silver
I'll take those sweet lips, and thou will deliver
I will dress your eyelids
With dimes upon your eyes
Laying close to water
Green your grave will rise
Go to sleep now little ugly
Go to sleep now you little fool
Forty-winking in the belfry
You'll not feel the drowning
You'll not feel the drowning
Forget you once had sweethearts
They've forgotten you
Think you not on parents
They've forgotten too
Go to sleep now little ugly
Go to sleep now you little fool
Forty-winking in the belfry
You'll not feel the drowning
You'll not feel the drowning
Go to sleep now little ugly
Go to sleep now you little fool
Forty-winking in the belfry
You'll not feel the drowning
You'll not feel the drowning
Hear you now the captain
Heed his sorrowed cry
Weight upon your eyelids
Is dimes laid on your eyes

True story: when I first had the album put on my ipod by my sister, it hadn't copied properly...so for a year I thought that it only had six (substantially lengthy) songs on it. I thought of it as one of the greatest albums ever already. Was so happy when I heard from Shankill Butchers to the end!

@jacobthelioneater Agreed. <3

@AnnettexAutopsy I love how the decemberists can make the most disturbing things beautiful.

It's "a-ramble", but this is still an excellent video.
-
It is, though it's disturbing. [x
-
Those notes Colin hits in The Landlord's Daughter are just the best part of this whole thing. The Hammond Organ is pretty great, too.
-
@upstatenyphann I agree
-
@JohnyVirgil IMO it sounds like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and Led Zeppelin mixed together.
-
This is such a Decemberist's theme. It's so them it's almost funny. Amazing song!
-
This sounds so much like prog from the 70's.

More bands need to rediscover the Hammond Organ.

One of the best songs of all time. (Note the period. This implies that my statement is not up for debate :P)
