Green Broom

about

I don't know if this is the sailor getting revenge on the mermaids or what but I think he is going to have a very difficult time selling them a green broom. The lady who died in our house plays the role of the sailor in this song and the young man who broke into our house and stole our stuff is playing the role of the mermaids.

lyrics

Making pinwheels in your mind/taking up all of your time/old John Riley was a sweet love wanderer/he was true with the building of seeds of love/he had but one son/and his name was John/Lady with the green broom/sharpened his knives/mermaids do you wanna buy a green room?......I'm feeling icy cold/I feel you walk through me/what do you want with me?/what are the things you see in the room?/ I'm feeling black and blue when you walk through with your green broom/ now that's it up to you/There's something you can do/I'm feeling black and blue/I feel the lack it's true/I'm feeling black and blue as you walk through the green room
