Mightier than thou

 Mightier than thou

I really do not know

Mightier than thou

Coming on so slow

Well I hear it when you talk

Like the winds do blow

You are so Mightier than thou

Outside my window


Whistle for me honey

I'd like to hear a tune

Whistle for me honey

By the light of the big full moon

Well Magnolia in the swamps

And the hanging vines and broom

They're so mightier than thou

On a Summer's afternoon


French fry me baby

Give me a liquorice spoon

Let me take your medicine

I'll be coming home so soon

I can even taste it, clear as I hear the loon

Who goes crying in grapes

And howling at your moon


Who chose you baby, to stand for right or wrong

Whose needle did you crotchet for it to turn out bad?

I've been to the desert and I've sung my desert song

But now I'm returning to the table lands

And for that I should be glad
