SPRING HEELS

O Eliah he luk out of the window

He’s got tears in his eye

His ‘eavy ‘art a burden

Tho he dunno why

Well, he do know

He remember what lay out

Beyond that

Clear night sky

N up upon a roof top

A sinister shadow he spy

That be spring heel jay

That ol’ lore never dies

Creepin down

Those cobble streets

Go young Molly

Tits unsuckled teats

Well, Jay jump out and plant

A kiss right there

She scream, cry and grab

At his long brown hair

He let pour from his mouth

A glorious heat

A flame that burn

With blues and greens

Leaving Molly dead

Upon the cold floor

Poor young Molly

Just shy o sixteen

Well, think Eliah

The world revolves

Around our end of days

And to help it along

There’s spring heeled jay

He meet a lady o the night

Mutterin about how

When she lift her skirt

The bats come flying out

Spring heeled

He only aim to please

And when he be dun

She pays the fees with

2 coins on her eyes

Dead by degrees

The boatman’s palms

Got to be greased

And him and Jay

They got dealings

Over the deceased

Well, think Eliah

The boatman’s fees

They got to be paid

And that bloody tender

Come straight from the hands

Of spring heeled Jay.
