The King of Yellow ButterfliesA
The King of Yellow ButterfliesA
The King of Yellow ButterfliesA
Now orders forth his menB
He says The time is almost hereC
When violets bloom againB
Adown the road the fickle routD
Goes flashing proud and boldE
Adown the road the fickle routD
Goes flashing proud and boldE
Adown the road the fickle routD
Goes flashing proud and boldE
They shiver by the shallow poolsF
They shiver by the shallow poolsF
They shiver by the shallow poolsF
And whimper of the coldE
They drink and drink A frail pretenseG
They love to pose and preenH
Each pool is but a looking glassI
Where their sweet wings are seenH
Each pool is but a looking glassI
Where their sweet wings are seenH
Each pool is but a looking glassI
Where their sweet wings are seenH
Gentlemen adventurers Gypsies every whitJ
They live on what they steal Their wingsK
By briars are frayed a bitJ
Their loves are light They have no houseL
And if it rains todayM
They'll climb into your cattle shedN
They'll climb into your cattle shedN
They'll climb into your cattle shedN
And hide them in the hayM
And hide them in the hayM
And hide them in the hayM
And hide them in the hayM
