Natalie Merchant - Vain And Careless Lyrics

Rate:



Lady, lovely lady,

Careless and gay!

Once when a beggar called

She gave her child away.



The beggar took the baby,

Wrapped it in a shawl,

"Bring her back," the lady said,

So vain and so proud,

He walked on stilts

To be seen by the crowd.



Up above the chimney pots,

Tall as a mast,

Shouting till he passed.



"A splendid match surely,"

Neighbours saw it plain,

"Although she is so careless,

But the lady played bobcherry,

Did not see or care,

As the vain man went by her

Aloft in the air.



This gentle-born couple

Lived and died apart.

Water will not mix with oil,

Nor vain with careless heart.
