lyrics

they were but twelve years old
but that’s what it was all about
their thing was true nothing else meant as much
and really nothing else meant as much

Mr Tench he would not let his daughter see
see the boy it goes way back
a kind of feud Mr Tench has always blamed
the boy’s father for how they lived
in a gumbo hut made of shit
but they lived fine in their hut

he held her hand
she kissed his lips
she was twelve as was he
but their thing was stronger than
anything most of us will ever know

he screamed her name
Mr Tench he screamed her name

they say she fell between the rocks
the wind was rough the water cold
they say she fell between the rocks
where they played the other day

but we all knew she knew those rocks she knew them well
and we all knew she knew those rocks
and no one ever no one ever heard a cry for help

we could could not speak we could not play
for days and days ‘cause we all knew
she knew those rocks she knew them well

they say she fell but we all knew
she knew those rocks she knew them well
they say she fell but we all know
she knew those rocks she knew them well
