PAINTED LADIES
 Ian Thomas
 words & music: Ian Thomas
 
 I remember setting out just to see what I could see
 Streetcars rolling by and airplanes flying high they all meant nothing to me
 No one ever looked my way or knew that I was there
 I kept walking and the rain kept raining
 Until all the streets were bare
 
 Oo feeling fine mama
 Painted ladies and a bottle of wine mama
 Oo Feeling good mama
 They took my money like I knew they would
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la
 
 City lights were shining on me through my window pane
 I kept thinking 'bout the day when I'd be home again
 Rocking chairs and summer fairs and swimming in the sea
 I kept drinking, sinking 'till there was nothing left of me
 
 Oo feeling fine mama
 Painted ladies and a bottle of wine mama
 Oo Feeling good mama
 They took my money like I knew they would
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la
