Kerri Watt - Jessie lyrics

{Verse 1} Jessie was a girl of the night with auburn curly hair Jessie sang and danced for rogues and regals She put out for her money knowing it wasn't fair But still, she’d flash around her silks and frills Jessie, to save her own life, was quick to tell a lie A skill she'd learned from running with the tramps But she was lion-hearted, you would never see her cry And her family disappeared without a glance {Chorus} And they'd sing Oh, Jessie, don’t be shy tonight It's showtime, get in line, she's such a crimе Oh, Jessie, give thе boys a smile It's just a job, you know {Verse 2} Jessie, she looked lovely in her long lacy pants But lovely ain't so lovely around here She fascinated farmers and they'd fantasise about her Grinning as they finished off a beer {Chorus} And they'd sing Oh, Jessie, don't be shy tonight It’s showtime, get in line, she’s such a crime Oh, Jessie, give the boys a smile It's just a job, you know {Bridge} Jessie’s days were numbered in that dirty dying bar She didn't have a lot of common sense And she fell for a rich guy who had secrets in the dark And covered in her own blood she was left {Chorus} And they'd sing Oh, Jessie, don't be shy tonight It’s showtime, get in line, she's such a crime Oh, Jessie, give the boys a smile It's just a job, you know And they'd sing Oh, Jessie, don't be shy tonight It's showtime, get in line, she's such a crime Oh, Jessie, give the boys a smile It's just a job, you know {Outro} Oh, Jessie, I'm talking to you Oh, Jessie, I'm talking to you Oh, Jessie, I'm talking to you Oh, Jessie, I'm talking to you Oh, Jessie
