What can I take from you?

what can I take from you?

what's worth one plug nickel from a silly fool?

what can I take from you

why did I leave you there?

why did I leave you there?

with your long black kitty and your funky hair

why did I leave you there?

give it to me!

talking' about a friend of mine

see mr. danny boy

did ya see mr. danny boy

why did I leave you there?

why did I leave you there?

with your long black kitty and your funky hair

why did I leave you there?

I said baby

stop lovin' by the rules

I heard the rumors danny

stop your talkin' danny

I heard the rumors danny

lost down in santa fe

I had love with a runaway

and to think my daddy thought I was gay

said I lost mine in santa fe

the riff miester is my friend

the riff miester is my friend

I love that motherfucker till the very end

bolan was my man

said baby

stop lovin' by the rules

I heard the rumors, danny

stop your talkin danny

I heard the rumors, danny

it's a long long road for this here desperado

and its cold cold cold visions of tomorrow

so when was the last time you wrote for me a song

I said babe, stop loving by the rules

and don't play for sorrow

don't play the fool

don't play the fool
