The Earlie King - Baby Dee

Bring me a whiskey

Get me a beer

What’s that song

Bring me a whiskey

Get me a beer

What’s that song

I like to hear?

The dreaming child

The father proud and strong

I kinda like that song

The one about the Earlie King

Daddy, I can see him

His coat’s so shiny bright

Behind us in the night

I can see the Earlie King

Daddy, I can hear them

They’re singing just for me

Can’t you hear?

Can’t you see

The daughters of the Earlie King?

Spill the milk!

Spill the meat!

Life is bitter and death is sweet!

All the bacon that a boy can eat!

Come along with me!

And the bad bells ring!

And the bad bells ring!

And I am running

Still running from the Earlie King!

And there’s nothing there, nothing at all

Fairytales and folderol

Nothing to hear and nothing to see

Wind in the willow and light in the tree

The dreaming child

The father proud and strong

I kinda like that song

The one about the Earlie King

Daddy, can you hear me?

It’s got so hard to speak

I’ll kiss your bristly cheek

And go with the Earlie King

Up from the table

My brother’s tiny soul

All gone, swallowed whole

Taken by the Earlie King

Spill the milk!

Spill the meat!

Life is bitter and death is sweet!

All the bacon that a boy can eat!

Come along with me!

And the bad bells ring!

And the bad bells ring!

And I am running

Still running from the Earlie King!

And there’s nothing there, nothing at all

Fairytales and folderol

Nothing to hear and nothing to see

Wind in the willow and light in the tree

The bad bells ring!

And the bad bells ring!
