Sweet Painted Lady

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I'm back on dry land once againOpportunity awaits me like a rat in the drainWe're all hunting honey with money to burnJust a short time to show you the tricks that we've learnedIf the boys all behave themselves hereWell there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rearYou won't need a gutter to sleep in tonightOh the prices I charge here will see you alrightSo she lays down beside me againMy sweet painted lady, the one with no nameMany have used her and many still doThere's a place in the world for a woman like youOh sweet painted ladySeems it's always been the sameGetting paid for being laidGuess that's the name of the gameForget us we'll have gone very soonJust forget we ever slept in your roomsAnd we'll leave the smell of the sea in your bedsWhere love's just a job and nothing is said
