(I. Anderson)
2
(Original by Jethro Tull on album Aqualung)
3
Who would be a poor man a beggerman, a thief
4
If he had a rich man in his hand
5
Who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth
6
If he could take it from the money man
7
Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again
8
She signs no contract but she always plays the game
9
She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel
10
And the jack knife barber drops her off at school
11
Laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys
12
Would rather make it with a letching gray
13
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
14
Who watches through the railings as they play
15
Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.
16
She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song
17
She's a rich man's stealer but her favour's good and strong
18
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate helps the poor man get along
