The lord of the manor | |
Loves the upstairs maid | |
And I tend the flowers | |
Of the seeds he lays | |
His collar is velvet | |
His hands are real soft | |
She sleeps with the master | |
I'm awakened above | |
I wish in the bedrooms | |
The sheets were all torn | |
I wish that the flowers | |
Would only grow thorns | |
The lord of the manor | |
Has a wife of gray | |
He pays the chauffeur | |
To drive her away | |
The lord and my lady | |
Are upstairs alone | |
The one who could stop them | |
Is physically gone | |
I wish in the bedrooms | |
The sheets were all torn | |
I wish that the flowers | |
Would only grow thorns |
