Vain and Careless - Natalie Merchant[00:00:00]
Lady lovely lady [00:00:16]
Careless and gay [00:00:22]
Once when a beggar called [00:00:26]
She gave her child away [00:00:31]
The beggar took the baby [00:00:55]
Wrapped it in a shawl [00:01:00]
'Bring her back ' the lady said [00:01:06]
'Next time you call '[00:01:10]
Hard by lived a vain man [00:01:39]
So vain and so proud[00:01:44]
He would walk on stilts[00:01:49]
To be seen by the crowd [00:01:55]
Up above the chimney pots [00:01:59]
Tall as a mast [00:02:05]
And all the people ran about[00:02:10]
Shouting till he passed [00:02:15]
'A splendid match surely '[00:02:43]
Neighbours saw it plain [00:02:50]
'Although she is so careless [00:02:54]
Although he is so vain '[00:02:58]
But the lady played bobcherry [00:03:06]
Did not see or care [00:03:11]
As the vain man went by her [00:03:17]
Aloft in the air [00:03:23]
This gentle-born couple[00:03:30]
Lived and died apart [00:03:36]
Water will not mix with oil [00:03:42]
Nor vain with careless heart [00:03:46]
