I was blind, I was lame
I was nothing 'til you came
And said "Babe, make you sing,
Make you feel like some queen"
Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
And rode in, barking mad
With a halo of deep black
'Til my love made me gag
Called him daddy, take my hand
Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
I'm hooked
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Oh higher
Now I'm blind and I'm lame
Left with nothing but his stain
"Daddy, your maid, she can't sing
She can't feel, she's no queen!"
Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Good Lord, he hooked me
Clean out of time
