Wealthy Poet

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
