[Verse 1]
Old Taylor said
Old Taylor meant to cry, oh my
Field marshal meant
Field marshal went away again
[Chorus]
Look out below, the tides
Lean heavily like wine
We are all innocent in spite of you
And me
[Verse 2]
Then Martha went
Yes, Martha went away again
Down in Transvaal
Where crocodiles and men fight on
[Chorus]
They would have played all night
Even with loaded dice
It's gold that eats the heart and leaves the bones
To dry
[Instrumental]
