Cross-Eyed Mary lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jethro Tull Album: Live: Bursting Out
Lyrics
Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief -- If he had a rich man in his hand And who would steal the candy From a laughing baby's mouth If he could take it from the money man Cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again She signs no contract But she always plays the game Dines in hampstead village On expense accounted gruel And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys: Would rather make it with a letching grey Or maybe her attention is drawn by aqualung Who watches through the railings as they play Cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get along She's a poor man's rich girl And she'll do it for a song She's a rich man stealer But her favour's good and strong: She's the robin hood of highgate -- Helps the poor man get along
