The B-side to Bowie’s 2014 single, “Sue (Or In A Season of Crime),” takes its title from a John Ford play by the name of ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore. It acknowledges the “shocking rawness of the First World War”.
The song was eventually released on Blackstar, 14 months after its single release.
’Tis a Pity She Was a Whore Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Man, she punched me like a dude
Hold your mad hands, I cried
‘Tis a pity she was a whore
‘Tis my curse, I suppose
That was patrol
That was patrol
This is the war
[Bridge]
[Verse 2]
Black struck the kiss, he kept my cock
Smote the mistress, drifting on
‘Tis a pity she was a whore
She stole my purse, with rattling speed
That was patrol
This is the war
‘Tis a pity she was a whore
[Bridge 2]
[Verse 3]
Man, she punched me like a dude
Hold your mad hands, I cried
‘Tis a pity she was a whore
‘Tis my fate, I suppose
For, that was patrol
That was patrol
‘Tis a pity she was a whore
[Outro]
‘Tis a pity she was a whore
Woo!
Ahh! Woo!
Woo!
