Sweet Painted Lady - Remastered 2014

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

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

Oh, sweet painted lady

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

Guess that's the name of the game

Oh, sweet painted lady

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

Guess that's the name of the game, oh

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

So as she lays down beside me again

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

Oh, sweet painted lady

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

Guess that's the name of the game

Oh, sweet painted lady

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

Guess that's the name of the game, oh
