Jessie

Jessie was a girl of the night with auburn curly hair
Jessie sang and danced for rogues and regals
She put out for her money knowing it wasn’t fair
But still, she’d flash around her silks and frills
Jessie, to save her own life, was quick to tell a lie
A skill she’d learned from running with the tramps
But she was lion-hearted, you would never see her cry
And her family disappeared without a glance
And they’d sing
Oh, Jessie, don’t be shy tonight
It’s showtime, get in line, she’s such a crim
Oh, Jessie, give th boys a smile
It’s just a job, you know
Jessie, she looked lovely in her long lacy pants
But lovely ain’t so lovely around here
She fascinated farmers and they’d fantasise about her
Grinning as they finished off a beer
And they’d sing
Oh, Jessie, don’t be shy tonight
It’s showtime, get in line, she’s such a crime
Oh, Jessie, give the boys a smile
It’s just a job, you know
