Gus Dudgeon - Sweet Painted Lady lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm back on dry land once again Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain We're all hunting honey with money to burn Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned If the boys all behave themselves here Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight Oh the prices i charge here will see you alright So she lays down beside me again [Chorus 1] My sweet painted lady, the one with no name Many have used her and many still do There's a place in the world for a woman like you [Chorus 2][x2] Oh sweet painted lady Seems it's always been the same Getting paid for being laid Guess that's the name of the game [Verse 2] Forget us we'll have gone very soon Just forget we ever slept in your rooms And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds Where love's just a job and nothing is said [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2][x2]
