Mighty Like a Rose - Them, Van Morrison

You have drowned a thousand sorrows all in one

And mixed with mugs and millionaires you have done

Ya' been and gone and done it for a quid

And just what you don’t know, up there you got hid

Lord, you’re only fourteen summers

And God knows, yeah, child

You’re gettin' mighty like a rose

You got pulled for tryin' to straighten up this town

And looked bashful bribin' old, bent Barrister Brown

Ya' know, their turnin' on in the classroom ain’t the point

It’s when you’re missin' out teacher teach ya' how to

Roll a joint

Lord, hey, while you’re down there lookin' up my nose

Yeah, child you’re gettin' mighty like a rose

Nxt time they try to fire m, ya' make the scene

You’re gettin' sugar cubes for breakfast

Ya' know what I mean

And the, the hazard oh the wind blows through you' ears

Ya' haven’t got enough of those

What ya' haven’t got for years

Yeah, but never mind steppin' on my toes

Yeah, child, you’re gettin' mighty like a rose

Yeah, hey, hey, you’re mighty like a rose

Uh-huh, aww, aww, aww, aww, aww, aww

Mmm-mm, mmm-mm, mmm-mm, mmm-mm…
