Album: Irish Tour ’74
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
Yes I'm a,
Fair ground baby
Wonder what made me,
Fall for the pearly queen
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 like the class bell sound
From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn
Alright
Now hear it on the loud speaker say,
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see,
Yeah 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
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 like the school bell sound
From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn
Yeahh
