lyrics

I once played the harpsichord, carried school books and praised the lord
Everybody said I favored my dear old mother in the grave
My father made a sport of keeping the boys away from seeing me
But the man who sold the holy book breached my doorstep and me he took

We slept down in the riverbed where my man would scream and curse the dead
On and off the medicine, little bottles in the sand
And I would wander to the town in my bare feet and dressing gown
Beg a few coins for bread and coal, "here's a bible, save your soul"

Eventually I landed here when the screaming made me run in fear
They had to take the kitchen shears, cut my hair, cut my clothes
They gave me back my harpsichord but they wouldn't let me praise the lord
There's a new god to whom you'll sing, the golden coin here is king
