JETHRO TULL - CROSS EYED MARY 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 mouthIf he could take it from thw money man.Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.She signs no contract but she always plays the game.She dines in Hampstead village on expense acconted gruel,and the jack-knife barberdrops her off at school.Laughing in the playground-gets no kicks from little boys:would rather it wich a letching grey.Or maybe her attencion is draw by Aqualungwho watches through the railing as they play.Cross-eyed MAry finds hard to get along.She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a a song.She's the rich man stealer but her favour's good and strong:she's the Robin Hood of Highgate-helps the poor man get along.
