Tattoo'd Lady

Bearded baby

They're my family

When I was lonely

Something told me where

I could always be

Where I could

Wish for pennies

If you had any

You'd meet me down

At the shooting gallery

You know I'm a

Fair ground baby

Wonder what made me

Fall for the pearly Queen

Well I spent my youth

Under canvas roof

As I roamed from town to town

I'm not fooling

When I say I got no schoolin'

Never like the class bell sound

From this heaven caravan

I hear the fairground band

Sounding good as they can be

Know I can't be found

If you look around

Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn

Oh yeah

Oh

Now hear it on the loud speaker say

The fire eater is a real fine sight to see

You know he's a death cheater

Some kind of central heater

Be sure to save a seat for me

Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie

She's no baby

The law came

And tried to close her sideshow down

But soon she had the D.A. cheering

The police chief wearing

Her garter for a crown

Oh

I spent my youth

Under canvas roof

As I roamed from town to town

I'm not fooling

When I say I got no schoolin'

Never like the school bell sound

From the caravan

I hear the fairground band

Sounding really good as they can be

You know I can't be found

But if you look around

Tomorrow I'll be gone by dawn

Tattoo'd Lady

Bearded baby

They're my family

When I was lonely
