Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Lusty lady just died"
That's all the papers said
But they knew her story, heard their cry
And build a monument instead
[Verse 2]
Lusty lady in a smoke-filled room
Trying to raise a stranger's child
He told her that he'd be comin' home soon, so soon
But his youthful urges drove him wild, yes sir
[Verse 3]
Lusty, lusty lady, she was paid, yeah
By all her so-called friends, yeah
They wouldn't help her with things below, no
She hung her scarlet lamp outside her door, Lordy, yeah
[Verse 4]
"Lusty, lusty lady just died"
That's all the papers said (That's all they said, yeah)
They knew her story, hear their cry
And build a monument instead, instead, instead, oh
[Verse 5]
Lusty lady
Yeah
Many, many times we're on the run, run
Mama moved there just to hide (Just to hide)
All the strangers that took my place
As she took off her towel of pride, pride, Lord, Lord, Lord
[Verse 6]
Lusty, lusty lady, I hope you can hear
I told the truth about your life, yeah
Lordy, sweet lady, I want you to know
I'm gonna love ya till I die, well, well
[Verse 7]
"Lusty, lusty lady just died", yeah, died
That's all the papers said (That's all they said, yeah)
