Lyrics
Lonesome soldiers rode into town
Turned it into the devil's playground
Just before they drove ol' Dixie down
Fallen angels wearin' heaven's perfume
Freckle-faced farm girls with painted-on rouge
Hungry with nothin' to lose
Sweet tarts puttin' on a show
'Til they sent 'em upriver on The Idahoe
Spirits dropped to an all-time low
So they brought 'em back home to Music Row
While city welcomed 'em back
Scarlet ladies swore they'd been kidnapped
Soiled doves went on and on
All is fair in war
Right or wrong
Drinkin' Jack Daniels in hoopty skirts
Dancin' round the Presbyterian church
Lordy, them ladies doin' the rebel's work
Carpetbaggers and generals
Belles that lost their beaus
Oh, them ghosts still roam
