The Croppy Boy ’98

One two three four I had two fried eggs in the morning I had two deviled eggs for tea For I left my love in the afternoon To join the company She offered me kind servings On that I can't deny She told me I look nervous Says, I am but a Croppy Boy Come back to me tomorrow And bring your own rucksack And I will show you places lad Of the likes when ya seen that ya ne'er look back I had two fried eggs in the morning I had two deviled eggs for tea For I left my love in the afternoon To join the company As I awoke next morning Unpacked my sundries Off I set to my lover's house Excited as can be But when I knocked up on her door No answer raised alarm Then read a note that said she found The arms of another fancy man I had two fried eggs in the morning I had two deviled eggs for tea For I left my love in the afternoon To join the company I had two fried eggs in the morning I had two deviled eggs for tea For I left my love in the afternoon To join the company I had two fried eggs in the morning I had two deviled eggs for tea For I left my love in the afternoon To join the company I had two fried eggs in the morning I had two deviled eggs for tea For I lost my love on that afternoon Nothing more is what's left of me
