MY LAZY GOODHEART
A parlour ballad
Up by my Lazy Goodheart
He and his love did lie. They choked my Lazy Goodheart With a selfish aching sigh. They vowed to make love easy And followed you and me. But love became too greedy And devoured what might have been.
Up the house of Follow-me
He and his love did cry.
Inside the house of Follow-me
They learnt to cheat and lie.
She called him to go easy And vanquish you and me. But love became too greedy And it soured what could have been.
I go by my Lazy Goodheart
Where the two of them have died. But in the land of my Lazy Goodheart
No comfort can I find.
Follow-me can’t make it easy
Now you have gone from me. And death became too greedy
So killed what should have been.
