Tattoo'd Lady Lyrics - Irish Tour '74 - Rory Gallagher

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 school bell sound 

From 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, 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, hey 

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, the cheering 

The police chief wearing her garter for a crown 

I spent my youth under canvas roof 

As I roamed from town to town 

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 

If you look around, tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn, yeah, yeah 

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 

Tattoo'd lady
