Landlady

One, two, three, four

Can I stay here for a while, landlady?

Just a corner of the room, a blanket, and a curfew

And I'll be light when I'm out

I'll be quiet as a mouse down in country

But if I stay too long

Or if I'm off and wrong

The combination's wrong

So I tried in my way to break what I'm bound to

There are chains and there are ties I just never got around to

And it's fine sometimes to leave it all behind and start it over

But when it's said and done

No matter where you run

You're gonna owe someone

So I try to keep it light

Keep my mind off the winter

But it's few and far between that I make gold from tin and timber

So give a little time and I could straighten out

Give a little time and I could make it right

Give me some time and I could pay you back
