Folks, I have been horse-whipped and I've been shillelaghed
Beat with my own fist but I still beg for more
To love the green-eyed squatter sleeping by my door
Green-eyed squatter
She's got ways to make a shut-in leave his bed
She's got ways to make a buzzard leave the dead
She's really stuck her steering wheel in my head
Green-eyed squatter
A hunchback riding on a camel passes by
Hawks are clutching rabbits way up in the sky
Everyone has found their partnеr here but I
Green-eyеd squatter
Green-eyed squatter
Whee!
Green-eyed squatter
She doesn't want my money or my tins of herring
She doesn't tend to hear me when I say "good day"
And yet she never budges from my alleyway
Green-eyed squatter
Sometimes a fog surrounds her like a memory
Maybe we had known each other once before
Maybe long ago I sent her from my door
Green-eyed squatter
Green-eyed squatter
