Scarlet Lady Songtext
von Lucifer

Last night about eleven o′clock
Mayor Davis walked into this room
When he left I was fifty dollars richer
had a bottle of French perfume
Lots of ladies 'round here ′d like to see me in jail
But they'll never see me there
'Cause there ain′t no judge in the county
hasn′t sat in my velvet chair

Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall
Mirror on the ceiling who is the fairest one of all
Lying on my big bedspread I've learned my lesson well
Scarlet lady never gives away what you can sell


I get them when they′re just sixteen
I get them when they're sixty five
They come in feeling full of the devil
and leave about half alive
There′s a new grand piano in the living room
and closets full of fancy clothes
You may not think it's much of a life
but that′s the one I chose

Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall
Mirror on the ceiling who is the fairest one of all
Lying on my big bedspread I've learned my lesson well
Scarlet lady never gives away what you can sell

It's half past ten on a Saturday night
busy like the one before
But all is half time for the governor
when he comes to my backdoor
So don′t you worry ′bout the scarlet woman
when you see her growing old
My diary's just a little black book
turn it into gold

Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall
Mirror on the ceiling who is the fairest one of all
Lying on my big bedspread I′ve learned my lesson well
Scarlet lady never gives away what you can sell


Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall
Mirror on the ceiling who is the fairest one of all
Lying on my big bedspread I've learned my lesson well
Scarlet lady never gives away what you can sell

Scarlet lady waits for you in my room just down the hall
Mirror on the ceiling who is the fairest one of all
Lying on my big bedspread I′ve learned my lesson well
Scarlet lady never gives away what you can sell
