I sang along with the words that she said

Oh and if you don't mind

Give back my heart when you go

E F#

Begging bowl blues

Wrapped round my head

Like a fistful of news nobody reads

Me and her name I can't recall

I was never the same after she left me

And oh I missed her so

And well, she cast a spell

Under I fell in a useless hello

Wishing the hours would take me away

Nobody's crook, stealing an answer

Oh why does he look drunk as the day he was born?

I got wrapped up in the money
