In the valley the girl waits
|
At the back of a caravan
|
Wears a dress made of red woll
|
For a night on the town with her man
|
|
He is good to her
|
He takes care of her
|
He holds doors for her
|
Settles scores for her
|
He does what he can
|
|
Stole a car for the night
|
Picked her up for the dance
|
Said farewell to their families
|
But they'd never come home again
|
|
Shine up your shoes and polish off your cufflinks
|
Go dress up for the ball
|
In borrowed clothes and fake jewels
|
We can bend all the rules
|
We wont' go home until they drag us out
|
|
There's a man who runs this place
|
Built like a chimney and hits like joe brown
|
He's got tabs on all of the girls
|
She needs more money to buy her way out
|
He ain't shit to her
|
Ain't worth the tears to her
|
Dares call himself a Christian man
|
He only gives us the back of his hand
|
|
How long?
|
How long?
|
|
But tonight put on your best dress
|
Go dress up for the ball
|
With borrowed clothes and fake jewels we can bend all the rules
|
We won't go home until they drag us out
|
|
Shine up your shoes and polish off your cufflinks
|
Go dress up for the ball
|
In borrowed clothes and fake jewels
|
We can bend all the rules
|
We wont' go home until they drag us out
|
