Martha's Madman Lyrics - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Martha has a madman 

Standing hidden in the shadows 

He's got a long curved Turkish dagger 

With a bejewelled handle 

He's telling her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples and he's 

Hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples 

In the pool of time she thought she knew it 

But someone threw a stone into it 

Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true 

What can she do 

Yes it's true 

What can she do 

Martha, yes I guess you'll have to wait around 

Another thousand years 

Martha's gettin' nervous as she wanders through his valley 

Where the shadows always frightening 

And the whispers tell her stories 

He's telling her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples and he's 

Hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples 

In the pool of time she thought she knew it 

But someone threw a stone into it 

Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true 

What can she do 

Yes it's true 

What can she do 

Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around 

Another thousand years 

What can she do 

Yes it's true 

What can she do 

Yes it's true 

(Martha has a madman) 

What can she do 

(Standing hidden in the shadows) 

Yes it's true 

(He's got a long curved Turkish dagger) 

What can she do 

(With a bejewelled handle) 

Yes it's true 

(Martha's gettin' nervous) 

What can she do 

(As she wanders through his valley) 

Yes it's true 

(Where the shadows always frightening) 

What can she do 

(And the whispers tell her stories) 

Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around 

Another thousand years
