Mr. Danny Boy

(album: Apple - 1990)

What can I take from you?
What can I take from you?
What's worth one plug nickel from a silly fool?
What can I take from you?
What can I take from you?
What's worth one plug nickel from a silly fool?
What can I take from you
why did I leave you there?
Why did I leave you there?
With your long black kitty and your funky hair
Why did I leave you there?
Give it to me!

Talking about a friend of mine

See Mr. Danny Boy
Did ya see Mr. Danny Boy
Why did I leave you there?
Why did I leave you there?
With your long black kitty and your funky hair
Why did I leave you there?
I said baby
Stop loving by the rules
I heard the rumors Danny
Stop your talking Danny
I heard the rumors Danny
Lost down in Santa Fe
I had love with a runaway
And to think my daddy thought I was gay
Said I lost mine in Santa Fe

The riff miester is my friend
The riff miester is my friend
I love that motherfucker till the very end
Bolan was my man
Said baby
Stop loving by the rules
I heard the rumors, Danny
Stop your talkin Danny
I heard the rumors, Danny
It's a long long road for this here desperado
And its cold cold cold visions of tomorrow
So when was the last time you wrote for me a song

I said babe, stop loving by the rules
And don't play for sorrow
Don't play the fool
Don't play the fool
