I was nineteen when I came to town[00:00:13]
They called in the Summer of Love[00:00:15]
They were burningbabies burning flags[00:00:18]
The Hawks against the Doves[00:00:20]
I took a job in the STeamie[00:00:24]
Down on Cauldrum Street[00:00:26]
I fell in love with a laundry girl[00:00:28]
Was working next to me[00:00:37]
She was a rare thing[00:00:39]
Fine as a beeswing[00:00:40]
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away[00:00:42]
She was a lost child[00:00:46]
She was running wild she said[00:00:48]
As long as there's no price on love I'll stay[00:00:52]
And you wouldn't want me any other way[00:00:57]
Brown hair zig-zag round her face[00:01:11]
And a look of half-surprise[00:01:14]
Like a fox caught in the headlights[00:01:16]
There was an animal in her eyes[00:01:19]
She said young man O can't you see[00:01:23]
I'm not the factory kind[00:01:25]
If you don't take me out of here[00:01:28]
I'll surely lose my miind[00:01:30]
She was a rare thing[00:01:34]
Fine as a beeswing[00:01:37]
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away[00:01:40]
She was a lost child[00:01:45]
She was running wild she said[00:01:47]
As long as there's no price on love I'll stay[00:01:50]
And you wouldn't want me any other way[00:01:55]
We busked around the market towns[00:02:31]
And picked fruit down in Kent[00:02:34]
And we could tinker lamps and pots[00:02:36]
And knives wherever we went[00:02:39]
And I said that we might settle down[00:02:43]
Get a few acres dug[00:02:45]
Fire burning in the hearth[00:02:48]
And babies on the rug[00:02:50]
She said O man you foolish man[00:02:54]
It surely sounds like hell[00:02:57]
You might be lord of half the world[00:03:00]
You'll not own me as well[00:03:02]
She was a rare thing[00:03:06]
Fine as a beeswing[00:03:09]
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away[00:03:11]
She was a lost child[00:03:16]
She was running wild she said[00:03:19]
As long as there's no price on love I'll stay[00:03:22]
And you wouldn't want me any other way[00:03:27]
We was camping down the Gower one time[00:03:36]
The work was pretty good[00:03:38]
She thought we shouldn't wait for frost[00:03:40]
And I thought maybe we should[00:03:42]
We were drinking more in those days[00:03:46]
And tempers reached a pitch[00:03:49]
Like a fool I let her run[00:03:52]
With the rambling itch[00:03:54]
Last I hear she's sleeping out[00:04:10]
Back on Derby beat[00:04:11]
White Horse in her hip pocket[00:04:12]
And a wolfhound at her feet[00:04:13]
And they say she even marriend once[00:04:16]
A man named Romany Brown[00:04:19]
But even a Gypsy caravan[00:04:22]
Was too much settliing down[00:04:24]
And they say her flower is faded now[00:04:28]
Hard weather and hard booze[00:04:30]
But maybe that's just hte price you pay[00:04:33]
For the chains you refuse[00:04:36]
She was a rare thing[00:04:40]
Fine as a beeswing[00:04:43]
And I missher more than ever words could say[00:04:45]
If I could just taste[00:04:50]
All of her wildness now[00:04:53]
If I could hold her in my arms today[00:04:56]
Then I wouldn't want her any other way[00:05:01]
