Country Lane, there is a beauty
with big, leaf coloured eyes
Spends all night on the threshold
Sells the same rose to all
Country Lane, there is a girl
Her lips are rouge coloured
Her eyes grey like the street
Flowers grow where she walks by
Country Lane, there is a whore
with big, leaf coloured eyes
If you feel like loving her
merely take her by the hand
And it seems like you are going far
She glances at you with a smile
You didn't believe that paradise
was only on the first floor
Country Lane, there goes a fool
To plead her to get married
To watch her go up the stairs
Until the balcony door is closed
Love and laugh, if love replies
weep loudly if it doesn't hear you
out of diamonds nothing grows
out of manure the flowers bloom
out of diamonds nothing grows
out of manure the flowers bloom
