diane taraz - revolutionary tea كلمات أغنية
there was an old lady lived over the sea
and she was an island queen
her daughter lived off in a new country
with an ocean of water between
with an ocean of water between
the old lady’s pockets were filled with gold
but never contented was she
she called on her daughter to pay her a tax
a thruppence a pound on her tea
a thruppence a pound on her tea
now mother, dear mother, the daughter replied
i shan’t do the thing you ask
i’m willing to pay a fair price for the tea
but never the thruppenny tax
but never the thruppenny tax
you shall, quoth the mother, and reddened with rage
for you’re my own daughter, you see
and sure, ’tis quite proper the daughter should pay
her mother a tax on her tea
her mother a tax on her tea
and so the old lady her servant called in
and packed off a budget of tea;
and eager for three pence a pound, she put in
enough for a large family
enough for a large family
she ordered her servants to bring home the tax
declaring her child should obey
or old as she was, and almost woman grown
she’d half whip her life away
she’d half whip her life away
the tea was conveyed to the daughter’s own door
all down by the ocean’s side;
and the bouncing girl poured out every pound
in the dark and boiling tide
in the dark and boiling tide
and then she called out to the island queen
o mother, dear mother, quoth she
your tea you may have when ’tis steep’d enough
but never a tax from me
but never a tax from me
