Cross-Eyed Mary (Live) [2004 Remaster] (Live; 2004 Remaster)

Cross-Eyed Mary (Live|2004 Remaster) - Jethro Tull

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 jumpin' 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

Laughin' in the playground

Gets no kicks from little boys

Would rather make it with a letchin' 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

Cross eyed mary
