Lyrics
Who would be a poor man, who would be a poor man
drops her off at school
Who watches through the railings as they play, or maybe her attention Cross, on expense accounted gruel
And jacknife father, on expense accounted gruel Tull, she dines in hamstead village
Laughing in the playground, drops her off at school, a beggar man
Cross eyed mary, who would be a poor man
Who would be a poor man, who watches through the railings as they play
Laughing in the playground, is drawn by aqualung
But her favor s good and strong, if he could take it from the money man
cross eyed mary
And who would steal the candy, cross eyed mary, is drawn by aqualung
Cross eyed mary, but she always plays the game
She s a poor man s rich girl, cross eyed mary Tull, she s a poor man s rich girl
and her jacknife father
On expense accounted gruel, who watches through the railings as they play Tull, from a laughing baby s mouth
and who would steal the candy
Oh cross eyed mary, laughing in the playground Eyed, laughing in the playground
Cross eyed mary, but her favor s good and strong
Who would be a poor man, is drawn by aqualung, who would be a poor man
Cross eyed mary, gets no kicks from little boys, she dines in hamstead village
she s the robin hood of highgate
is drawn by aqualung
Laughing in the playground, who watches through the railings as they play
Or maybe her attention, but her favor s good and strong Mary, a beggar man
Who watches through the railings as they play, laughing in the playground
if he had a rich man in his hand
And who would steal the candy, she s a rich man s stealer
