[00:13.57]I was nineteen when I came to town
[00:15.70]They called in the Summer of Love
[00:18.32]They were burningbabies, burning flags
[00:20.76]The Hawks against the Doves
[00:22.13]
[00:24.95]I took a job in the STeamie
[00:26.70]Down on Cauldrum Street
[00:28.26]I fell in love with a laundry girl
[00:37.90]Was working next to me
[00:39.15]She was a rare thing
[00:40.46]Fine as a beeswing
[00:42.21]So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
[00:46.65]She was a lost child
[00:48.90]She was running wild, she said
[00:52.47]As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
[00:56.33]
[00:57.14]And you wouldn't want me any other way
[01:00.58]
[01:11.92]Brown hair zig-zag round her face
[01:14.04]And a look of half-surprise
[01:16.48]Like a fox caught in the headlights
[01:19.04]There was an animal in her eyes
[01:23.10]She said, young man, O can't you see
[01:25.54]I'm not the factory kind
[01:28.04]If you don't take me out of here
[01:30.72]I'll surely lose my miind
[01:34.42]She was a rare thing
[01:37.04]Fine as a beeswing
[01:40.04]So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
[01:45.41]She was a lost child
[01:47.35]She was running wild, she said
[01:50.61]As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
[01:55.67]And you wouldn't want me any other way
[02:02.67]
[02:31.72]We busked around the market towns
[02:34.23]And picked fruit down in Kent
[02:36.72]And we could tinker lamps and pots
[02:39.41]And knives wherever we went
[02:43.28]And I said that we might settle down
[02:45.84]Get a few acres dug
[02:48.34]Fire burning in the hearth
[02:50.90]And babies on the rug
[02:54.97]She said O man, you foolish man
[02:57.65]It surely sounds like hell
[03:00.09]You might be lord of half the world
[03:02.53]You'll not own me as well
[03:06.41]She was a rare thing
[03:09.09]Fine as a beeswing
[03:11.47]So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
[03:16.91]She was a lost child
[03:19.17]She was running wild, she said
[03:22.36]As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
[03:27.61]And you wouldn't want me any other way
[03:30.42]
[03:36.59]We was camping down the Gower one time
[03:38.34]The work was pretty good
[03:40.78]She thought we shouldn't wait for frost
[03:42.78]And I thought maybe we should
[03:46.90]We were drinking more in those days
[03:49.09]And tempers reached a pitch
[03:52.03]Like a fool I let her run
[03:54.60]With the rambling itch
[03:58.28]
[04:10.36]Last I hear she's sleeping out
[04:11.61]Back on Derby beat
[04:12.98]White Horse in her hip pocket
[04:13.98]And a wolfhound at her feet
[04:16.55]And they say she even marriend once
[04:19.11]A man named Romany Brown
[04:22.36]But even a Gypsy caravan
[04:24.42]Was too much settliing down
[04:28.23]And they say her flower is faded now
[04:30.92]Hard weather and hard booze
[04:33.42]But maybe that's just hte price you pay
[04:36.11]For the chains you refuse
[04:40.73]She was a rare thing
[04:43.17]Fine as a beeswing
[04:45.73]And I missher more than ever words could say
[04:50.86]If I could just taste
[04:53.30]All of her wildness now
[04:56.11]If I could hold her in my arms today
[05:01.92]Then I wouldn't want her any other way
