There's mischief in the eyes of peddlers A love to dance in the hearts of meddlers I'll trade steeds but never trade 'way my days To be a working slave A graceful road to a quiet grave A merchant with a broomstick chasing my mother away
If I'm a goblin or a devil Why do I send joy to the rabble? Why do I fill your childrens' hearts with hope? You send them to dreamland Armed with lies that I have no fortune grand Name me a working man But I am not a slave No I am not a slave, no
You set traps for the vultures When they come for the dead
Over the hills, under the earth Goodnight, city Fiddles lilting
'Round the licks, a victory dance Eat and drink and sing my children
And here is wealth! Bread for the bakers And goods from the makers
There's shoes not fit for their princes But fit for we Kings and queens Oh, if you could taste our dreams
They're breeding strangers, bitter settlers And there's mischief in the eyes of meddlersTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
