Kathleen

You're made of straw
No appointments to keep
No human law
When no one cares for you
You're made of straw
You're living on borrowed time
You can't do nothing right
You can't commit a crime
When no one cares for you
Well, honey, you're made of straw
Your love Kathleen is for someone
That I swear, I could have been
When no one cares for you
You're made of straw
You can't do nothing right
You can't uphold a law
When no one cares for you
