Thread Name: Lyr Req: Lydia, the Tattooed Lady
Subject: RE: LYDIA, THE TATTOED LADY
Well, to throw in another tattooed lady I have a friend who sings one of a sailor rescued from drowning by a woman in a rowboat. She takes him to shore and strips off her own clothing. The song relates all the geographical tattoos and ends when her husband shows up. At that point the narrator lets the rest of the world go by.

I haven't seen my friend in a few years so cannot ask him about the song. Anyone know the lyrics?
