Solly Free and Easy
Solly Free and Easy
Solly, free and easy – that should be his name;
Solly, free and easy – that should be his name;
Took a young girl’s loving – for a nursery game.
Oh, the heart he gave me – was not made of stone;
Oh, the heart he gave me – was not made of stone;
It was sweet and hollow – like a honeycomb.
Think I’ll wait till sunset – see the evening light go down;
Think I’ll wait till sunset – see the evening light go down;
Then I’ll take the tideway – to my burial ground.
Solly, free and easy – that should be his name;
Solly, free and easy – that should be his name;
When my body’s landed – hope he cries with shame.
