Tattoo´d Lady

Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby They're my family When I was lonely Something told me where I could always be Where I could push the penny, if you've got any You'll 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 foolin' when I say I got no schoolin' Never liked the class-bell sound From inside the caravan, I hear the fair-ground band Sounding good as they can be You know I can't be found, if you look around Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn, oh yeah Now hear it on the loudspeaker 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 side show down But soon she had the DA 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 foolin' when I say I got no schoolin' Never liked the school-bell sound From the caravan, I hear the fair-ground band Sounding really good as they can be You know I can't be found and if you look around Tomorrow I'll be gone by dawn Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby They're my family When I was lonely Something told me where I could always be Where I could push the penny, we have any You'll meet me down at the shooting gallery Fair ground baby Wonder what made me fall for the pearly queen
