Martin Carthy & Eliza Carthy - Queen Caraboo lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Young Caraboo comes out of the resting

French and fine titles this young girl is dressed

Her one pair of stockings and ?

She trumped out on shoulders and she jumped all along

She's now looking forward for this bouncy one year

Never heard of a gypsy like young Caraboo

Cuz she's stuffed full of ribbons, she's stuffed full of stamp

Drivin' the haven where 'fore there was none

When there she allighted and wallows from gate

The dame there and doctor is soon very straight

Along came a gypsy the cloth with fast blue

A princess converted the young Caraboo

(Instrumental break)

(Verse 2)

Two ? their questions she answered them by

So hard did she struggle for a love went so high

And since the day they made these titles so fine

? drink none of their wine

Cause if this is in position, I've nothing to do

Already the man falls, said the young Caraboo

(Instrumental break)

(Verse 3)

She looked down at her ? she took it right up

A little hat, a fancy young pigeon there sat

She looked ? she giggled, she looked to ?

The bird in her hand and the ? in her eye

She ? it, she ate it, she pulled it right through

This ? by the doctors, she's Queen Caraboo

(Instrumental break)
