Best song with a crackin story?



Howya Julia by the Saw Doctors.
https://www.justsomelyrics.com/2404434/the-saw-doctors-howya-julia-lyrics.html
True story of a Bishop who was a staunch supporter of celibacy but was discovered to have fathered a child.

This verse is a work of art :D

Must be funny in the morning he'd be doin' the consecration
After nights of long and passionate, unbridled fornication
Sittin' in the chapel attendin' exposition
Dreaming Karma Sutra and his favourite position
 
A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash.

But my personal favourite would be The Mariner's Revenge Song by the Decemberists. An everyday tale of two men inside the belly of a whale and a mother's dying plea -
'Find him, find him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave.'
