music for your morning

Yankee Bayonet by The Decemberists w/Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond.

When we saw this in concert, the introduction went along the lines of...

"This is a song song by a rebel soldier to his wife. He was stabbed by a yankee bayonet and is now a ghost, of course, because if he had survived and made his way home to his wife it would have a happy ending and thus not be a Decemberist song."
