Martin Carthy & Eliza Carthy - Monkey Hair lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

Monkey hair return to fire

And skirts the brown all passings for all

Then she cries, let no man's lies

Move through my wound and add to my soul raw

God of plunder, god of ill send my lull to distant hill

All to raise is drooping shells, impacing my heart in monkey hair

(Verse)

Times are my mind takes flight, cloudy by day, fiery by night

Master of fire, break the sting in your tail

Is all well and wasted it's fruit less and frail

Flags are waving, banners fly, truth is marching, here am I

Winded and lonely, but stronger and clear

No coward to flinch, no trader to fear this

(Chorus)

Monkey hair return to fire

And skirts the brown all passings for all

Then she cries, let no man's lies

Move through my wound and add to my soul raw

God of plunder, god of ill send my lull to distant hill

All to raise is drooping shells, impacing my heart in monkey hair
