Sting - Cushie Butterfield
I'm A Broken-hearted Keelman
And I'm O'er Head In Love
With A Young Lass From Gyetsid
And I Call 'er My Dove
Her Name's Cushie Butterfield
And 'er Cousins A Muckman
And She Sells Yellow Clay
And They Call Him Tom Gray
Chorus
She's A Bonny Lass
She's A Big Lass
And I Call Her Cushie Butterfield
And I Wish She Was Here
And She Likes Her Beer
Her Eyes Is Like Two Holes
In A Blanket Burnt Through
Would Scare A Young Coo
And Her Breath In The Mornin'
And Her Stockings Once Was White
She Wears Big Galoshes
And Her Bed Gown It's Lilac
And Her Hat's Never Straight
Chorus
Cushie Butterfield
