BONNIE PRINCE BILLY
"Lessons From What's Poor"

When I go
Follow my brother
He's got the blood of father and mother
And he's has a spirit that's even mightier

And if I hunger
See that I do
Bring me water
Bring me food
Fill me up with things that are true
And very good

And if you want to
Touch my wrest
With the hands
That I have kissed
And hold my coffs [?]
So strong in your fist

See now, watch
How it is I am
Watch what I do
And how I stand
And stand [?] boys [?]
For we are granted [?]
Like now we part [?]

I take my lessons
From what's poor
That's what God
Has put me for
Wealth is dead
Of that I'm sure
Farewell
