Tramp And The Young Girl Performer(s): Mark Almond
Down by the river, foggy and grey Only a young girl kneeling to pray Down in the water, muddy and cold Eyes red from crying A torn, ragged soul
Once so young and gay Once in dreams of yesterday
Down by the river, foggy and grey Only an old tramp shuffles his way He saw that the water, that the water so wide Held the young body of a love that had died
Once so young and fair Once, and now despair
Down by the reeds, they found him next day Dead like the young girl, in the water so grey That muddy old river took two of a kind A tramp and a young girl That love left behind
