I been folking 7 long years
How long how long how lo
Braved 6 days where the bison grazed
5 students of humanities
4 townies such as thee
I took to folk I cos I don't do soul
Or anything approximate to rock and roll
I've been folking seven long years
How long how long how lo
Being sold I took my latest chance
On Azerbaijan where peasants danced once
Beethoven tore the lyric book
Tempo set by the hook and by the crook
I draw brown sleeves in a childish hand
For girls in glasses in indie bands
I'll assimilate you - it works for me
Wherever there are paupers there is poetry
I've been folking seven long years
I tool to folk cos I don't do soul
Or anything approximate to rock and roll
I been folking seven long years
How long how long how lo?
