I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
’til you came and said,
Babe,
I’ll make you sing,
I’ll make you feel,
like some queen.
I’ll take you Kathleen,
to your home and mine.
Lord, he hooked me –
fish-hook and line.
And rode in
barking mad
with a halo
of gate black,
’til my love
made me gag.
Called him, Daddy.
Take my hand.
He said I’ll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine.
Lord he hooked me –
fish-hook and line
Now I’m blind
and I’m lame
left with nothing
but his stain.
Daddy, your maid –
she can’t sing,
she can’t feel,
she’s no queen.
He said I’ll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine.
Lord he hooked me
clean out of time.
