I LIVED among great housesA
Riches drove out rankB
Base drove out the better bloodC
And mind and body shrankB
No Oscar ruled the tableD
But I'd a troop of friendsE
That knowing better talk had goneF
Talked of odds and endsE
Some knew what ailed the worldG
But never said a thingH
So I have picked a better tradeI
And night and morning singH
Tall dames go walking in grass green AvalonJ
-
Am I a great Lord ChancellorK
That slept upon the SackL
Commanding officer that toreM
The khaki from his backL
Or am I de ValeraN
Or the King of GreeceO
Or the man that made the motorsP
Ach call me what you pleaseQ
Here's a Montenegrin luteR
And its old sole stringH
Makes me sweet musicS
And I delight to singH
Tall dames go walking in grass green AvalonJ
-
With boys and girls about himT
With any sort of clothesU
With a hat out of fashionV
With Old patched shoesW
With a ragged bandit cloakX
With an eye like a hawkY
With a stiff straight backL
With a strutting turkey walkY
With a bag full of penniesQ
With a monkey on a chainZ
With a great cock's featherK
With an old foul tuneA2
Tall dames go walking in grass green AvalonJ
