I was nineteen when I came to town,

they called it the summer of love.
They were burning babies,
burning flags,
down on Caldron Street,

And I fell in love with a longer girl

She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't want me

Around her zigzag round face
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,

If you don't take me out of here,
So fine a breath of wind

She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't bug me

We bussed around the market towns
and we picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker knives
and pans

And I said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth

And we were drinking more in those days
And tempers they reached a pitch
And like fool I let her run

The last I heard she was sleeping out
back on the Derby beat
A white horse in her hip pocket
a man named Romney Brown
But even a gypsy caravan
And you wouldn't want me
Eb
Ab

They say flowers faded now,
hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's the price
you pay
Ab

And I miss her more than words could say
