Mark Knopfler - After The Beanstalk

Well a hen can lay a golden egg but she still cant sing
A hen can lay a golden egg but she still cant sing
Well the hens alright but the harp is everything

When hes gunning for glory a boy just wont be told
Gunning for glory a boy just wont be told
I went up three times but it never was for the gold

Oh, Mama whats the matter now
Oh, Mama whats the matter now
That old cow she wasnt milking anyhow

After the beanstalk your lifes not the same
After the beanstalk your lifes not the same
Well the harps worth more than any fortune and fame

Oh, Mama whats the matter now
Oh, Mama whats the matter now
Im still up in the morning to get behind the plough

A hen can lay a golden egg but she still cant sing
A hen can lay a golden egg but she still cant sing
Well the hens alright but the harp is everything

Oh, Mama whats the matter now
Oh, Mama whats the matter now
Im still up in the morning to get behind the plough
