Lyrics
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 you got any, you'd meet me down
At the shooting gallery
You know I'm a 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 when I say I got no schoolin'
Never liked 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
If you look around
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn
Oh, yeah
I hear it on the loudspeaker say that
Fire-eater is a real fine sight to see
You know 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 baby
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, oh
I spent my youth under canvas roof
'Cause I roamed from town to town
I'm not fooling when I say I got no schoolin'
Never liked the school bell sound
From the caravan
I hear the fairground band
Sounding really good as they can be
You know I can't be found
And if you look around
Tomorrow I'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
Where I could wish for pennies
If we had any you'd meet me down
At the shooting gallery
Fair ground baby
Wonder what made me fall for the pearly queen
Tattoo'd lady
