You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
You are quieter and deeper than a well
And ya never tell me nothin'
There's nothin' that a care to choose to tell
You been acting most peculiar
Every morning you're awake ahead of me
Always sittin' by the winder
I like to watch the river meet the sea
When we work in the mill, weavin' at the loom
You gaze absent-minded at the roof
And half the time your shuttle gets twisted in the threads
'Till you can't tell the warp from the woof
'Taint so
You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
You won't ever tell a body what you think
You're as tight-lipped as an oyster
And as silent as an old Sahara spink
