[Verse 1]
By Devonside she was a-marching
It was a gang of no great size
And surrender was the banner that she carried
And hungry was the shiver in her eye
[Verse 2]
She met a boy, his health was failing
She dropped the banner and took her prize
And the only food she had was bread and morphine
Oh, but he fed on the shiver in her eye
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
By Devonside his love was drifting
He looked for comfort otherwise
And there never was a rope or chain about him
Oh, she held him with the shiver in her eyes
[Verse 4]
Oh, she said, "My John, I'll be your pillow
I'll be your lover, mother, whore and wife"
And he knew that he had loved and never seen her
When the light fell from the shiver in her eyes
By Devonside she was a-marching
It was a gang of no great size
And surrender was the banner that she carried
And hungry was the shiver in her eye
[Verse 2]
She met a boy, his health was failing
She dropped the banner and took her prize
And the only food she had was bread and morphine
Oh, but he fed on the shiver in her eye
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
By Devonside his love was drifting
He looked for comfort otherwise
And there never was a rope or chain about him
Oh, she held him with the shiver in her eyes
[Verse 4]
Oh, she said, "My John, I'll be your pillow
I'll be your lover, mother, whore and wife"
And he knew that he had loved and never seen her
When the light fell from the shiver in her eyes
