Sweet Painted Lady

You're back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits you like a rat in a drain
You're all hunting honey with money to burn
Just a short time to show you the tricks that I've learned

If the boys all behave themselves here
There's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
The prices I charge here will see you, all right

I lay down beside you again
Your sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used me, many still do
There's a placе in the world for a woman like me

Sweet paintеd lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
I guess that's the name of the game

Sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game

You'll be gone very soon
I'll forget you ever slept in my room
And you'll leave the smell of the sea in my bed
Where love's just a job and nothing is said

Sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game

Sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game
