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 has a spirit that's even mightier
And if i hunger,
See that i do
Bring me water,
Bring me food
And fill me up with things that are true,
And very good
And if you want to,
Touch my wrist
With the hands
That i have kissed
And hold my cuffs
So strong in your fist
See now, watch
How it is i am
Watch what i do,
And how i stand
And stand down boys
For we are grand
Right now we are
I take my lessons
From what's poor
That's what God
Has put me for
Wealth is death,
Of that i'm sure
Farewell
