Sweet Painted Lady |
| I’m back on dry land once again |
| Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain |
| We’re all hunting honey with money to burn |
| I’m back on dry land once again |
| Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain |
| We’re all hunting honey with money to burn |
| Just a short time to show you the tricks that we’ve learned |
| If the boys all behave themselves here |
| Well there’s pretty young ladies and beer in the rear |
| You won’t need a gutter to sleep in tonight |
| Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright |
| So she lays down beside me again |
| My sweet painted lady, the one with no name |
| Many have used her and many still do |
| There’s a place in the world for a woman like you |
| Oh sweet painted lady |
| Seems it’s always been the same |
| Getting paid for being laid |
| Guess that’s the name of the game |
| Forget us we’ll have gone very soon |
| Just forget we ever slept in your rooms |
| And we’ll leave the smell of the sea in your beds |
| Where love’s just a job and nothing is said |
