The blood upon the bridal wreath   The bridal wreath, the bridal wreath   The devil shows his shiny teeth   His shiny teeth, his shiny teeth   Oh, shiny teeth      Now take a seat there by the door   He'll leave you on the killing floor   He's gone and set the clouds on fire   They're burning there forever more      The wind has blown the clouds away   The clouds away, the clouds away   It soon will be our wedding day   Our wedding day, our wedding day   The sun will shine      The sun will shine, the birds will sing   I'll give my love a wedding ring   The briar and the rose shall be   Entwined, my love, forever more      The sun will shine, the birds will sing   I'll give my love a wedding ring   The briar and the rose shall be   Entwined, my love, forever more      Oh, knock on the hickory of a peg-leg man   A peg-leg man, a peg-leg man   I'll wait beneath a blood-red moon   A blood-red moon, a blood-red moon   'Neath a blood-red moon      I'd rather die than part from you   I have a lovely wish for you   I'll wait here by the shady bush   You'll be mine forever more
