Dress of Laces |
And she has a dress of laces |
It’s worn in many places |
The shoulder hangs upon her by a thread |
And she has a need for sharin' |
With someone warm and carin' |
And no one sees a heart that’s underfed |
Young girl in love, young girl in tears |
She hasn’t seen the man she loves in years |
And her mother is a waitress |
At the harbor bar, good graces |
Where the seamen come from fishin' with their lines |
And it was one of them that caught her |
And left her with a daughter |
Who lives with hate and loving him in mind |
Young girl in love, young girl in tears |
She hasn’t seen the man she loves in years |
So the young girl goes to the water |
And she calls out for her father |
But she ain’t seen the old man in some time |
Yes, and he was always boastin' |
Just a drinkin' and a toastin' |
And one day he left his family far behind |
Young girl in love, young girl in tears |
She hasn’t seen the man she loves in years |
So her mother comes home a drinkin' |
With some sailor who’s a thinkin' out loud |
That he might stay with them awhile |
So she loads her mother’s pistol |
And she shoots him as he whistles |
A song about a sailor’s life in style |
Young girl in love, young girl in tears |
She kills the only man she’s loved in years |
And with him dies her hopes, her dreams, her fears |
And she has a dress of laces |
It’s worn in many places |
The shoulder hangs upon her by a thread |
And she has a need for sharin' |
With someone warm and carin' |
But no one sees a heart that’s underfed |
No one sees a heart that’s underfed |
