Lyrics
Oh, I remember good times but never half so well
As I remember bad times, the dates on which they fell
I stole my brother's saddle, I stole my father's mare
Swore I would return 'em to pay the reaper's share
Pay the reaper's share, pay the reaper's share
Swore I would return 'em to pay the reaper's share
My name is Morgan Montague, I sprang from foreign seed
I've seen widows born as lives away men bleed
I always did my duty as I saw it to be done
Maybe some do not agree, who's asking anyone?
Asking anyone? Asking anyone?
Maybe some do not agree, who's asking anyone?
When at death's door my father lay, his mare I did return
But kept my brother's saddle until it came his turn
To face his angry maker, that day came, so did I
To drop his saddle by his bed and let that poor man die
Let that poor man die, let that poor man die
Drop his saddle by his bed and let that poor man die
My name is Morgan Montague, more I will not say
Circumstance nor birthplace do I care to give away
I do not since I dare not, otherwise I would
My name is Morgan Montague, you're standing where I stood
Standing where I stood, you're standing where I stood
My name is Morgan Montague, you're standing where I stood
You stand where I was standing when I heard the fatal word
Condemned to execution, April 23rd
If I had done the dreadful deed, I would not flinch to die
I'd have strung my own self up or know the reason why
Know the reason why, know the reason why
I'd have strung my own self up or known the reason why
But I am not allowed to rest while you walk free and tall
With family blood upon your hands whatever may befall
My name is Morgan Montague, my duty's call is clear
Before the frost is on my grave, you'll lie beside me here
Lie beside me here, love, lie beside me here
Before the frost is on my grave, you'll lie beside me here
Here lies Morgan Montague, he did not learn to trust
He was once a man like you but now is only dust
This is what I told them should be my epitaph
But they wrote "Here lies Montague", God got the final laugh
Got the final laugh, God got the final laugh
They wrote "Here lies Montague", God got the final laugh
