[00:17.49]With your mercury mouth in the missionary times
[00:33.97]And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
[00:38.11]And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes
[00:44.51]Oh, who do they think could bury you ?
[00:51.61]With your pockets well protected at last
[00:59.81]And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass
[01:11.70]And your flesh like silk, And you face like glass
[01:16.75]Who among them do they think could carry you ?
[01:25.92]Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
[01:33.30]Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
[01:43.87]My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
[01:55.43]Should I put them by your gate
[02:02.63]Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ?
[02:08.09]
[02:13.38]With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace
[02:20.61]And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace
[02:30.90]And your basement clothes and your hollow face
[02:34.92]Who among them can think he could outguess you ?
[02:44.71]With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
[02:56.19]Into your eyes where the moonlight swims
[03:03.84]And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns
[03:11.38]Who among them would try to impress you ?
[03:20.67]Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
[03:27.88]Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
[03:37.40]My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
[03:51.28]Should I put them by your gate
[03:58.48]Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ?
[04:01.55]
[04:06.36]The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
[04:15.39]Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss
[04:22.36]And you wouldn't know it would happen like this
[04:30.04]But who among them really wants just to kiss you ?
[04:39.12]With your childhood flames on your midnight rug
[04:48.38]And your Spanish manners, and your mother's drugs
[04:55.78]And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs
[05:03.53]Who among them do you think could resist you ?
[05:13.28]Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
[05:23.30]Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
[05:30.90]My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
[05:44.82]Should I leave them by your gate
[05:51.52]Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ?
[05:59.26]Oh, the farmers and the businessmen they all did decide
[06:06.80]To show you the dead angels that they used to hide
[06:15.15]But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side ?
[06:23.24]How could they ever mistake you ?
[06:31.96]They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm
[06:47.04]But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm
[06:48.90]And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms
[06:58.70]How could they ever, ever persuade you ?
[07:05.55]Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
[07:13.35]Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
[07:22.79]My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
[07:34.77]Should I leave them by your gate
[07:42.36]Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ?
[07:47.57]
[07:51.88]With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row
[07:58.91]And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go
[08:13.14]And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show
[08:16.57]Who among them do you think would employ you ?
[08:24.94]Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
[08:31.95]With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold
[08:42.77]And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul
[08:52.87]Who among them do you think could destroy you ?
[08:58.44]Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
[09:10.91]Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
[09:16.00]My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
[09:28.00]Should I leave them by your gate
[09:34.92]Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ?
