Lyrics
And under the boughs unbowed
all clothed in the snowy shroud
She had no heart so hardened
All under the boughs unbowed
Each feather it fell from skin
'Til thread bare while she grew thin
How were my eyes so blinded?
Each feather it fell from skin
And I will hang my head, hang my head low
And I will hang my head, hang my head low
A grey sky, a bitter sting
A rain cloud, a crane on wing
All out beyond horizon
A grey sky, a bitter sting
And I will hang my head, hang my head low
And I will hang my head, hang my head low

I first heard this as a cover by Hexachordal. I'm glad I listened. This song is amazing.

Maybe the world would be a better and happier place if more people listened to this and not the top 40

Do not see the Mountain Goats connection, but this comment is still wonderful. If you've haven't had a chance, I'd strongly suggest listening to the version John Darnielle did on NPR. Peace.

The crane wife didn't trick him. She was plucking herself and weaving it into cloth to sell. He grew greedy, and didn't notice his wife's declining health. She just wanted to make him happy, but the man never noticed she was hurting herself to do so. When he found out, that was the bitter sting.
