about

lyrics

On a ship that sailed from Liverpool to Maine
Freddy with his dream in tow had plans all arranged
The Captain’s log said 1895, the date
Freddy brought his wife, a Swedish dame
Bertha had three children gave them good Christian names
But a name is not enough to keep the dark away

If the dead had mouths oh what they would say
Oh corpse, sing it loud now

Well the best laid plans of mice and men may change
Bertha was declared to be completely deranged
Away to the asylum where she counts the days
Freddy bought a farm and moved away
Trying to outrun the devil, but the devil had his way
Cause little Al inherited his mother’s pain

If the dead had mouths oh what they would say
Oh corpse, sing it loud now

Well the gods threw back their heads and laughed insane
Freddy died a lonely man his family estranged
The coroner’s report was put safely away
The dream has died and long since decayed
A shady plot in Falmouth is what keeps the remains
A family reunion in a shallow grave

If the dead had mouths oh what they would say
Oh corpse, sing it loud now
