Lyrics
My love, I am a wealthy poet Wealthy poet of renown My love, I am a wealthy poet Wealthy poet of renown So when it's time to run again Your wealthy poet of renown Will bribe you 'cross a thousand borders Run you till you're safe and sound ♪ I'll get you a teardrop ruby Teardrop ruby for your throat I'll get you a teardrop ruby Teardrop ruby for your throat When it's time to run again We'll take that ruby from your throat You will sew that red, red ruby In the lining of your coat ♪ I'll get you a pretty passport With your picture for the frame I'll get you a pretty passport With your picture for the frame When it's time to run again We'll put your picture in the frame Soon you will forget this country Soon you will forget your name ♪ I'll get you a book of matches Book of matches in your hand I'll get you a book of matches Book of matches in your hand When the border guarders catch us With those matches in your hand You will burn your fingerprints Beyond all recognition One, two, three! The way you dance, you step so lightly Step so lightly, I can see The way you dance, you step so lightly Step so lightly, I can see When it's time to run again Stepping lightly, I can see You'll be the one I'll take to run A thousand borders Stepping lightly, run with me
