jethro tull - minstrel in the gallery/cross eyed mary lyrics
the minstrel in the gallery
looked down upon the smiling faces.
he met the gazes observed the sp-ces
between the old men’s cackle.
maaaary…..
who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief –
if he had a rich man in his hand.
and who would steal the candy
from a laughing baby’s mouth
if he could take it from the money man.
cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again.
she signs no contract
but she always plays the game.
she dines in hampstead village
on expense accounted gruel,
and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.
cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get along.
she’s a poor man’s rich girl
and she’ll do it for a song.
she’s a rich man stealer
and her favour’s good and strong:
she’s the robin hood of highgate –
helps the poor man get along.
cross-eyed mary
