Lady, lovely lady Careless and gay! Once when a beggar called She gave her child away
The beggar took the baby Wrapped it in a shawl "Bring her back, " the lady said "Next time you call. "
Hard by lived a vain man So vain and so proud He walked on stilts To be seen by the crowd
Up above the chimney pots Tall as a mast And all the people ran about Shouting till he passed
"A splendid match surely, " Neighbours saw it plain "Although she is so careless Although he is so vain. "
But the lady played bobcherry Did not see or care As the vain man went by her Aloft in the air
This gentle-born couple Lived and died apart Water will not mix with oil Nor vain with careless heart
