lyrics

What could I be but a prophet and a liar?
Whose mother was a lephrecan,
Whose father was a friar.
Teethed on a crucifix
And cradled under water.
What could I be but a fiend's goddaughter?

And who could be my playmates
But the adder and the frog?
That was got 'neath furze bush
And born in a bog?
And what could be my singing
But christened at an altar
Of Ades and Credos and Psalms out of the Psalter.

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night.
But ah' my foes,
And oh' my friends
It gives a lovely light.

Outlaw!
Outlaw!

There could come to be no common spawn
For the love of a priest for a lephracan.
You have never seen and you never will see
Such things as the things that swaddled me.

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night.
But ah' my foes,
And oh' my friends
It gives a lovely light.
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night.
But ah' my foes,
And oh' my friends
It gives a lovely light.
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night.
But ah' my foes,
And oh' my friends
It gives a lovely light.

And after all's said,
And after all's done,
What could I be
But a harlot
And a nun?
