After The Bean Stalk Lyrics - Privateering - Mark Knopfler

Well a hen can lay a golden egg but she still can't sing 

A hen can lay a golden egg but she still can't sing 

Well the hen's alright but the harp is everything 

When he's gunning for glory a boy just won't be told 

Gunning for glory a boy just won't be told 

I went up three times but it never was for the gold 

Oh, Mama what's the matter now 

Oh, Mama what's the matter now 

That old cow she wasn't milking anyhow

After the beanstalk your life's not the same

Oh, Mama what's the matter now 

Oh, Mama what's the matter now 

I'm still up in the morning to get behind the plough
