"Tattoo'd Lady (Live)" lyrics
(originally by Rory Gallagher)
Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby
They're my family
When I was lonely something told me
Where I could always be
Wish for pennies, if you got any
You'd meet me down at the shooting gallery
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, got no schoolin'
Never like the class bell sound
From inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found but if you look around
You know I'll be gone by dawn, alright
On the loud speaker say, the fire eater
Is a real sight to see
A death cheater, central heater
Save a seat for me
Wicked Sadie, she's no baby
Tried to close her sideshow down
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'm not fooling, got no schoolin'
Never like the class bell sound
From inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found but if you look around
You know I'll be gone by dawn, alright
Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby
They're my family
When I was lonely something told me
Where I could always be
Wish for pennies, if you got any
You'd meet me down at the shooting gallery
Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby
They're my family
They're my family
When I was lonely something told me
Where I could always be
Wish for pennies, if you got any
You'd meet me down at the shooting gallery
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, got no schoolin'
Never like the class bell sound
From inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found but if you look around
You know I'll be gone by dawn, alright
On the loud speaker say, the fire eater
Is a real sight to see
A death cheater, central heater
Save a seat for me
Wicked Sadie, she's no baby
Tried to close her sideshow down
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'm not fooling, got no schoolin'
Never like the class bell sound
From inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found but if you look around
You know I'll be gone by dawn, alright
Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby
They're my family
When I was lonely something told me
Where I could always be
Wish for pennies, if you got any
You'd meet me down at the shooting gallery
Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby
They're my family
