Memorial Drive Lyrics - Procol Harum

Cellar full of diamonds, turret full of gold 

All for a mermaid's locket, too much to hold 

Drink the seals' blood from the ocean, 

Drink the whole ocean dry 

Steal the moonshine from the night-time, 

Steal the sun from the sky 

Black-skinned warrior, Zulu Queen 

Sold for a silver dollar, shipped across the sea 

Worked like a Mexican donkey, 

Used like a hole in the ground 

Branded her skin like she didn't feel a thing 

Crying without a sound
