Jethro Tull – Cross-eyed Mary

Jethro Tull – Cross-eyed Mary Lyrics

Artist: Jethro Tull
Song: Cross-eyed Mary

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
Laughing in the playground, gets no kicks from little boys:

Would rather make it with a letching grey
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
Who watches through the railings as they play
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
But her favour’s good and strong:

She’s the Robin Hood of Highgate
Helps the poor man get along
Laughing in the playground, gets no kicks from little boys:
Would rather make it with a letching grey

Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
Who watches through the railings as they play
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
Mary
Cross-eyed Mary
