The Mystery Of Edwin Drood (The 2013 New Broadway Cast Recording)
Durdles' Confession (feat. Robert Creighton)
What reason could I have to ever want Drood dead?
Why would I want to harm a hair upon his head?
But I'm the candidate you rowdy lot have chose
And so my motives now I fear I must disclose
After Jasper laid his nephew in the crypt he fled
With quarts of port, to Drood I drank a toast
When I 'eard 'im moanin', groanin', in my drunken head
I thought Drood was a ghost
Then!
He started screamin'
Just like a demon
It was a dreadful cry
A drunken stiff, my mind did 'ear it
As a different kind of spirit
So I smashed him, bashed him
The murderer am I!
Much thanks, goodbye!
