--INTRO--
/ / (x4)
--VERSE 1--
Old taylor said
Old taylor meant to cry -- oh my
Field marshall meant
Field marshall went away again
--CHORUS 1--
Watch out below; the tides
Lean heavily like wine
We are all innocent in spite of you and me
--VERSE 2--
Then martha went
Yes martha went away again
Down in transvaal
Where crocodiles and men fight on
--CHORUS 2--
They would have played all night
Even with loaded dice
It's gold that eats the heart away and leaves the bones to dry
--INTERLUDE--
--VERSE 3--
Segovia watched
Gendarmerie and all that's all
The radio man
Amanda did you choose your tune
--CHORUS 3--
She walked away in time
She walked a crooked line
So gracefully she turned her head and smiled -- away
