The Man In Purple Dashed Out Of The...

Stephin Merritt

Oh, the man in the purple dashed out of the castle
To see his carriage sag on just one wheel and only two horses
When, from the crowd, there sprang a burly vassal
Who grabbed the reins to drag the carriage off with all his resources

Acting as both wheel and steed
The man began to lead
The horses and to bleed
To death but he carried
The man in purple home free
How he made that carriage fly!
As he laid down to die
The man was heard to cry
"Remember me! 'Twas I
Beneath the mulberry tree
My Lord."
