Cross-Eyed Mary Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Tiraelion 

Cover art for Cross-Eyed Mary lyrics by Jethro Tull

I agree, this song is definitly more than just the story of a little child. It is about how the modern religions end up being "prostitutes" taking mopney and favors from the rich people. the last paragraph is very revealing. "She's is the poor man rich girl" means she is well loved by the poor and she will help them for a song. Remeber singing is an important part of many religiuos ceremonies. Whe the song says "she's the rich men stealer" it means she takes money from the higher classes for favours.
