Tattoo'd Lady - Live From The Brighton Dome, 21st January 1977

One, two, three, four

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 we had any you'd meet me down
At the shooting gallery
I'm a fair ground baby, wonder what made me
Fall for the pearly queen

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 heard the class bell sound

From 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
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn
New morning, yeah

You heard that the loud speaker saying that
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see
Yeah, 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 lady
The law came and tried to close her sideshow down
But soon she had the DA cheering
The police chief wearing her garter for a crown

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 knew the school bell sound

From 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
Tomorrow we'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

Thank you
Song called "Tattoo'd Lady", thanks a lot
