I Cwas just pushing down the pavement
I Cwas turning into stone
And you Frun, and you run, and you run, and you run got to pick up your kCnees
[Verse 2]
CAs long as she don't kill us we'll be stronger in the end
And every boy out there on Bogle Street is dying to get in
And you rFun, and you run, and you run, and you run got to pick up your knCees
And you rFun, and you run, and you run, and you run got to pick up your knCees
[Verse 3]
She gCave me room to amble, with brier and bramble
And the old red door was always open to the angels and the devils
And nFobody was young when they hGeard her mouth when she tCold us everythC/Bing we never knAmew
It was the sGong of the grande madame

Long before I knew you I was tumbling back home

I was just pushing down the pavement

I was turning into stone

F C

And you run, and you run, and you run, and you run got to pick up your knees

As long as she don't kill us we'll be stronger in the end

And every boy out there on Bogle Street is dying to get in

And you run, and you run, and you run, and you run got to pick up your knees

F C

And you run, and you run, and you run, and you run got to pick up your knees

And nobody was young when they heard her mouth when she told us everything we never knew

When your roots leave the earth I will stay and get my honey from the trees

Laughter in the cottage house, could last for hours long

When we heard the last gasp we all gave up our mother's song

And you run, and you run, and you run, and you run, and you run

Mother Maple I drink from your syrup

We're in the sugar shack making our porridge
