Just to add a little confusion: Paddy Roberts also wrote a 'Tattooed Lady' song, which starts;

Oh, I was a bit of a lad, I admit,
My past is a trifle shady.
But then in the end, I went right round the bend,
and married a tattoed lady.

All goes well until he finds

A caricature of her mother!
For this was much more than a man could endure.
It was ta-ta, tattoo, forever.
