How Heavy is Your Heart of Gold

Anna Jacobson - Trumpet, Vocals
Jason Toth - Drums
Andrew Wilkins - Bass
Steve Doyle - Dobro
Carl Kennedy - Keys
you went and did what I never asked you to
you went and did just like you always do
called me a stray took me in and made me stay
you went and did what I never asked you to, now I'm asking
how heavy is your heart of gold
how heavy is your heart of gold
I'm sinking slow, I need to know
how heavy, heavy is your heart of gold
am I a used car for parts for sale by the owner?
under restoration funded by a private donor?
are you a king’s Horse? Are you a Kings man?
should I call you Teresa? Or kiss your hand? I'm asking
Chorus
when will you let me go?
is it so heavy it’d sink down to the center of the earth?
if you sold it by the pound how much would it be worth?
you say you love to help me, “poor little thing”
I hear my bones groaning, I hear them asking, I'm asking
Chorus
