Bass [3x]
My soul grew stronger
Hesitating then no longer
Sir, said I, or Madam
Truly your forgiveness I implore
But the fact is I was napping
And so gently you came rapping
And so faintly you came tapping
Tapping at my chamber door
That I scarce was sure I heard you
Here I opened wide the door
Darkness there, and nothing more
Though thy crest be shorn and shaven
Thou, I said, art sure no craven
Ghastly grim and ancient raven
Wandering from the nightly shore
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore
Quoth the raven, nevermore
Bass [3x]
