The Croppy Boy ’98 lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Chorus]
I had two fried eggs in the morning
I had two deviled eggs for tea
For I left my love in the afternoon
To join the company

[Verse 1]
She offered me kind servings
On that I can't deny
She told me I look nervous
Says, I am but a Croppy Boy
Come back to me tomorrow
And bring your own rucksack
And I will show you places, lad
Of the likes when ya seen that ya ne'er look back

[Chorus]
I had two fried eggs in the morning
I had two deviled eggs for tea
For I left my love in the afternoon
To join the company

[Verse 2]
As I awoke next morning
Unpacked my sundries
Off I set to my lover's house
Excited as can be
But when I knocked upon her door
No answer raised alarm
Then read a note that said she found
The arms of another fancy man
[Chorus]
I had two fried eggs in the morning
I had two deviled eggs for tea
For I left my love in the afternoon
To join the company
I had two fried eggs in the morning
I had two deviled eggs for tea
For I left my love in the afternoon
To join the company, alright

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
I had two fried eggs in the morning
I had two deviled eggs for tea
For I left my love in the afternoon
To join the company

[Outro]
I had two fried eggs in the morning
I had two deviled eggs for tea
For I lost my love on that afternoon
Nothing more is what's left of me
