[Verse 1]
I was nineteen when I came to town
They called it the Summer of Love
Burning babies, burning flags
The hawks against the doves
And I took a job in the steamie
Down on Cauldrum Street
Fell in love with a laundry girl
Was working next to me
[Chorus]
She was a rare thing
Fine as a bee's wing
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
She was a lost child
She was running wild
She said, "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
And you wouldn't want me any other way"
[Verse 2]
Brown hair zig-zag around her face
And a look of half-surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights
There was animal in her eyes
She said, "Young man, oh can't you see
I'm not the factory kind
If you don't take me out of here
I'll surely lose my mind"
