This journey started slow and free

And ended wrapped around a tree

Just like my self pity tangled in

the willow weeds

As high as right up to my knees

While scratching at the fleas



She is handsome she is pretty

She's the queen and I'm two jacks shitty



With our way the less traveled roads

And filthy ferry boats and filthy overcoat

Counted on the fields to be far away

from home and close to me

And the castles and sea

You can bet the city wind is going

to sting your eyes

When you forget to use the telephone

And the sleet the snow the rain and

clich?long good-byes

When you got to leave her all alone

I'm not sure how well I am

I know exactly where I stand with you

hand in hand

Place your head on the pillow please

There's one of our two hearts diseased

That one belongs to me



She is handsome she is pretty

She's the queen and I'm two jacks shitty
