Elder Sister Plum - The Hempen Jig lyrics

Take my body to the cleaners Take my body when you go I 'ain't no soldier, I don't got no badges Don't got no honour, but I got soul So when you leave me Out in the cold I tend to find my way Back home Then I'll take your treasure, your navigator And your doctor, oh and your boat Cause I am a fighter, oh a wind rider All I need are the stars to guide my way I was born dancing the hempen jig Oh I was born dancing the hempen jig I've died a hundred gruesome heartbreaks And I've born a thousand shipwrecks and one I wear my scars like I wear my mother My guiding stars and my lost shadow So when you take me from My home Just remember that It's only flesh and bone Go ahead and take my body to the cleaners Take my body when you go I was born dancing the hempen jig Oh I was born dancing the hempen jig
