Painted Lady lyrics

The painted lady is waiting Waiting for you to do wrong She'll tear your heart out, make you cry Then chill your bones till you die Who is this woman in disguise Who sees through you with fiery eyes And draws the life-blood from you The devil's daughter is she Who seized the new tide from you The time has come to make a stand You're fighting over your land And will she take you in hand Make you a grey hunted man You've got to fight for your soul All that I ask for is time enough To remember all the dreams Leave it to me to fight Let me come along with the scene Slipping away when I could have What I had in mind This part of me that I tried in my heart to be When is she coming to you Or have you let her slip through Her blazing eyes still cling to you And tick the debt on by through The painted lady is waiting Waiting for you to do wrong The painted lady is waiting Waiting for you to do wrong
