Two Gallants

Lady Lyrics



I was daily growing

Dressed in red from head to toe

You were all the thought I was knowing



And the sun gave shine, no care the season

While I learned my one, two, three's and

You fell in to teach me treason



And now I spend my each day busy

Jumping on the monkey show

Jumping on the monkey show

Searching for a face I know



And I just walk for hours down the red-brick march of

market street

Of market street

I spend my each days in repeat



And lady, she's all right with me

Done borrowed all my empathy

Now you know she got the best of me

'Cause she's not lying next to me



And all things fine, sweet day beginning

I got up and fell right in

Climbed up to where you was living



And you stood in the backdoor yawning

And I caught where you turns me on

You're the reason I wake each morning



And sunshine plays the puddles through the mornings

evenings afternoons

Mornings evenings afternoons

I count my thoughts with coffee-spoons



And something reeks of heave 'neath the highway where

the hobos sleep

Where the hobos sleep

And laugh about the pains I keep



And lady, she's a friend of mine

'Cause I know how to take my time

But I can't say that without lyin'

So I'll try not to try next time
