jack hardy – the tailor lyrics
[verse 1]
the king’s guardsman’s greedy
he’s underpaid he knows
tailor, sew me a cloak of indigo
that will disguise me well
for the highwayman’s game
no one will suspect evil
and the king’s cross are the same
i will pay you dearly
with half of what i claim
[chorus]
no, said the tailor
the tailor said no
a cloak will not hide
what your own eyes see
a cloak will not change
what is hidden underneath
just as mine does not confine
the idea of what i am
i am not a tailor, i’m a man
[verse 2]
the king’s queen is hungry
for the pleasures adultery knows
tailor, sew me a cloak of scarlet
that will disguise mе well
for courtin’ on the sly
that will make thе fever
transparent to the night’s eyes
i will pay you dearly
with favors and with sighs
[chorus]
no, said the tailor
the tailor said no
a cloak will not hide
what your own eyes see
a cloak will not change
what is hidden underneath
just as mine does not confine
the idea of what i am
i am not a tailor, i’m a man
[verse 3]
the king he is frightened
with shadows behind his back
tailor, sew me a cloak of sable
that will disguise me well
from the daggers of my foes
that will keep me far above
those that are below
i will pay you dearly
if you fail on the gallows
[chorus]
no, said the tailor
the tailor said no
a cloak will not hide
what your own eyes see
a cloak will not change
what is hidden underneath
just as mine does not confine
the idea of what i am
i am not a tailor, i’m a man
