Them, Van Morrison - Mighty Like a Rose lyrics

You have drowned a thousand
Sorrows all in one and mixed with mugs and
Millionaires you have done
Ya' been and gone and done it for a quid
And just what you don't know
Up there you got hid

Lord, you're only fourteen summers
And God knows, yeah, child
You're gettin' mighty like a rose

You got pulled for tryin' to
Straighten up this town
And looked bashful bribin' old
Bent Barrister Brown ya' know
Their turnin' on in the
Classroom ain't the point
It's when you're missin' out teacher
Teach ya' how to roll a joint

Lord, hey while you're down there
Lookin' up my nose
Yeah, child you're gettin' mighty like a rose

Nеxt time they try to fire mе
Ya' make the scene
You're gettin' sugar cubes for breakfast
Ya' know what I mean

And the, the hazard oh the wind
Blows through you' ears
Ya' haven't got enough of those
What ya' haven't got for years
Yeah, but never mind steppin' on my toes
Yeah, child
You're gettin' mighty like a rose

Yeah, hey hey you're mighty like a rose
Uh huh, aww, aww, aww, aww, aww, aww
Mmm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
