Walking through the world of Pigsty Billy 
You can feel the sun go down 
Holes in your soles and nothing in your pockets 
Grinning at the edge of town 

Sow the yard with broken bottles 
Find a message now and then 
Lose the key in a patch of nettles 
Never find that door again 

Don't you whistle when the wind is rising 
Don't tell a chicken who's got the knife 
Don't you ask for drink on credit 
Don't look twice at any man's wife 

The Stars are hard, it's a long December 
Bait your line on a frozen pool 
All the things you can't remember 
Spring will thaw them out, the fool 

Buried round behind the chapel 
All tied up with a piece of string 
A photograph of Greta Garbo 
Rabbit's foot and a curtain ring
