In the spot-ted gums, where bell-birds, ring,

You might grow old and bit-ter, ‘cause you missed

it,

You know, some peo-ple, nev-er hear, such things.

CHORUS

Don’t buy, the dai-ly pa-pers, any-more, woman,

Read all a-bout, what’s go-ing on, in hell,

They don’t care, to tell the world, of kind-ness,

Good news, nev-er made, a pa-per sell!

There’s all the col-ours, of the rain-bow, in the

gar-den, woman,

And sym-phon-ies, of mus-ic, in the sky,

Hea-ven’s all a-round us, if your’ve look-in’

But how can you see it, if you cry?

Herod the King, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight,
All children young, to slay.

Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
And ever mourn and say;
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.

May those who gloat and seek my
Destruction be clothed with shame
