Thread Name: Lyr Req: That Old Tattooed Lady
Subject: Lyr Add: THE TATTOOED LADY (Skeets McDonald)
THE TATTOOED LADY (McDonald) Johnny White and his Rhythm Riders with Skeets McDonald
VERSE: Once I married a tattooed lady. (Well, tell me 'bout 'er, Skeets!) It was on a cold and winter day, And tattooed all around her body, (What was that?) Was the map of the good ol' USA; And ev'ry night before I'd go to sleep, (Wha'dja do?) I'd jerk down the quilt and I'd take a peep.
SPOKEN: Good gracious alive!
CHORUS: Upon her leg was Minnesota, On her shoulder, Tennessee, And tattooed on her back Was good old Rackensack*, The place where I long to be. Upon her [WOLF WHISTLE] was West Virginny. Through them hills I just love to roam; But when the moon begin to shine down on her Wabash, That's when I recognized my Indiana home.
REPEAT CHORUS.
[* He pronounces it "Rackumsack." Rackensack is an old name for Arkansas.]
