Red Light Saloon
Well I arrived in Denver and hour too soon And I thought I'd stop off at the Red Light Saloon I boldly walked up in and sat down at a bar And a dirty old chippy said have a cigar
I took that cigar and sat down in a chair The dirty old chippy came right over there Well she tickled my whiskers and ruffled my hair And she made old John Henry stand up in the air
I stood from my chair and threw down my cigar And said baby lets have a round somewhere The place that she showed me was right up the stairs And the thing that she showed me was covered with hairs
She wrapped her legs round me and wiggled her ass And she made old John Henry go off with a blast Well hotsey and totsey -- a flower in bloom A fuck for buck at the Red Light Saloon
