Songs about sex workers

[Dahlia Babe Ailhad]

Hi everybody,

Normally when i join a forum, i start a thread called, Songs About Sex Workers.
I think i know almost every tune out there. Maybe not. Help me learn more of them, please?
Anyway, if you search other escort forums, there's probably a thread by me on the topic of these songs.
You know me by now, i hope, i always use the same sign off with the kisses and hugs and the name, Babe.


So post your favorite tunes if you want.
Also, please, post the lyrics into the same post.

Let me start it off with...

Maryyyy?
(Mary's worried mother calls down the lane, wondering where her young daughter is.)

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief,
if he had a rich man in his hand?
And who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth
if he could take it from the money man?

Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract but she always plays the game.
She dines in Hampstead village on expense account gruel,
and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.

Laughing in the playground, (she) gets no kicks from little boys:
(She) would rather make it with a letching grey.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
who watches through the railings as they play.

Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.
She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song.
She's the rich man stealer but her favour's good and strong:
she's the Robin Hood of Highgate- helps the poor man get along.

Solos

Cross-eyed Mary.
Oh, Mary.
Oh, cross-eyed Mary.

"Roxanne"

You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets of money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)

"Day Tripper"

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out.
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out, now.
She was a day tripper, a one way ticket yeah.
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there.

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands.

Hi all,

I grew up with this song. My mom loved Irish songs.

I basically corrected every second line of the lyrics, to make it match what the man is singing.

The Tinker, Nancy Miles

Nancy was a tinker girl who roamed the country roads,
and I will tell you how she came to be a legend in her time.
And the reason that I've come to know, well the tinker told me so.
Who better, then, to pass to me - the tale of Nancy Miles.

Nancy's father, Tinker Dan, he was a poor but honest man.
Drove a horse-drawn caravan all through the Emerald Isle
When Nancy was no more a child, Dan he didn't have to toil.
Men would come from far and wide, to pay for Nancy Miles.

There's pretty girls in magazines, movie stars and beauty queens.
Nancy was the prettiest girl a man could ever see.
And the gleam of love in her eyes, when she'd look at you and smile,
made you feel that you were just the man she longed to see.

Before the age of twenty-one, a hundred men had come and gone.
None of them could win the gleam of love that was in her eyes.
Any man who loved her, then, never was the same, again.
His memory was haunted with thoughts of Nancy Miles.

In every town and village, too, the fame of Nancy grew and grew.
Soon, her name was spoken, at many a camp-fire site.
And in Ballinasloe, on Horse Fair Day, when tinker men would have their say,
many a fight was fought to win the court of Nancy Miles.

I hope that you don't get me wrong, Nancy was the sweetest one.
Heart so full of kindness and as charming as her smile.
She was known throughout the land, "the queen of all the tinker clan".
Was the dream of every man to marry Nancy Miles.

Before the age of thirty-one, a thousand men had come and gone.
None of them could win the gleam of love that was in her eyes.
Every man that loved her, then, never was the same, again.
His memory was haunted with thoughts of Nancy Miles.

Then, there came the saddest day, when Nancy's father passed away.
The loss it grieved her dearly and her heart was filled with pain.
Family, friends and courtin' men, never saw her smile, again.
A change had taken place within the heart of Nancy Miles.

Before the age of forty-one, Nancy she had come and gone.
They searched the country over, not a trace of her could find.
Nancy's memory will live on, as long as tinker men are born.
Proudly, they will sing this song, The Tinker, Nancy Miles.

Nice song, eh?

Babe,
xoxo

Teen-Age Prostitute

She's only seventeen
She's really sort of cute
She's working in the street
She's a teen-age prostitute

She ran away from home
Her mom was destitute
Her daddy doesn't care
She's a teen-age prostitute

"I have got a pimp. He treats me like a dog..."
(All the stuff she's shooting Keeps her in a fog)
"I would really like to try and get away..."
(But if she gets caught he'll cause her some dismay)

Tiny little pants
Chain around my boot
Shakin' in the dark
She's/I'm a teen-age prostitute

Babe,
xoxo

Thanks, Tempest! That's cool!!

"Strange Kind Of Woman" (A song about a TS escort from LONG ago)

There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history

Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery

I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave a good return

I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, "I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn?"

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy, you can't go far

I couldn't get her
But things got better, she said
"Saturday nights from now on baby, you're my star"

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

Oooooh ooooooh

My soul, I love you

Solo

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride

I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman

Solo

Here is a house in New Orleans
they call the rising sun
it's been the ruin of a many a poor girl
and me, oh god are one

If i had listened like momma said
i would not be here today
but being so young and foolish too
that a gambler lead me astray

Come tell my baby sisters
dont do what i have done
please shun that house in New Orleans
they call the rising sun

I'm goin back to New Orleans
my race is almost run
i'm goin back to New Orleans
beneath the rising sun

Babe,
xoxo
