We Both Go Down Together

We both go down together
And oh, my love, my love
And oh, my love, my love
We both go down together
Untouched by work or duty
Meet me on my vast veranda
And oh, my love, my love
You come from parents' wanton

And while the seagulls are crying
I come from wealth and beauty
We fall but our souls are flying
And oh, my love, my love
And oh, my love, my love

I found you, a tattooed tramp
And while your head is spinning
And oh, my love, my love

And oh, my love, my love
I laid you down in the grass of the clearing
And my parents will never consent to this love
A childhood rough and rotten
You wept but your soul was willing
And oh, my love, my love
Hold tight it's just beginning

My sweet untouched Miranda
A dirty daughter from the labor camps
But I hold your hand
