Paroles
So we saved up, bought ourselves an outfit Nighties, nylons, beautiful dresses Soon we found a job that was going A job as dancer in a cabaret A job in Memphis, the second big town we came to Oh how hard it was for Anna! Beautiful clothes can make a good girl particular? When the drinking tigress meets herself in the pool She's apt to become a menace She began talking about art (of all things) About the art (if you please) of cabaret In Memphis, the second big town we came to It wasn't art that sort of people came for That sort of people came for something else; And when a man has paid for his evening He expects a good show in return So if you cover up your bosom and thighs like you had a rash Don't be surprised to see them yawning So I told my art-loving sister Anna: "leave your pride to those who can well afford it Do what you are asked to do and not what you want For that isn't what is wanted." Oh but I had trouble, I can tell you With her fancy pig-head notions Night by night I sat by her bedside Holding her hand and saying this: "think of our little house in Louisiana!" O Lord, look down upon our daughter Show her the way that leads the good to thy reward Who fights the good fight and all self subdues Wins the palm, gains the crown
