Tattoo'd Lady Songtext
von Leadfinger

Tattoo′d lady, bearded baby
They're my family
When I was lonely something told me
Where I could always be

We could wish for pennies
If we had any you′d meet me down at the shooting gallery
I'm a fair ground baby, wonder made me
Fall for the pearly queen

Well, I spent my youth under canvas roof
As I roamed from town to town
I ain't fooling when I say I got no schoolin′
I never liked that class bell sound

Inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band
Sound as good as they can be
You know I can′t be found, but if you look around
Tomorrow I'll be gone by dawn


Now hear it on the loud speaker say
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see
Some kind of death cheater, a central heater
Be sure to save a seat for me

Let me tell you ′bout wicked Sadie
She's no lady, the law came and close her sideshow down
She had the D.A. cheering, the police chief wearing
Her garter for a crown

Well, I spent my youth under canvas roof
As I roamed from town to town
I ain′t fooling when I say I got no schoolin'
I never liked the class bell sound

Inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band
Sound as 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 something told me
Where I could always be


Let me tell you, wish for pennies
If you had any you′d meet me down at the shooting gallery
I'm a fair ground baby, wonder made me
Fall for the pearly queen, yeah
