Father, I'm not feeling well The flowers me you fed Tasted spoiled for suddenly I find that I am dead But father don't you fear Your children all are here Singing oh, the hazards of love ♪ Father, turn the water down The basin's overflown The water covers everything And me left all alone But papa here in death I have regained my breath To sing oh, the hazards of love To sing oh, the hazards of love ♪ Spare the rod, you'll spoil the child But I prefer the lash My sisters drowned and poisoned All of me reduced to ash And buried in an urn But father, I return Singing oh, the hazards of love Singing oh, the hazards of love The hazards of love The hazards of love
