On "orphans brawlers bawlers & bastards"

B F#
She's a crooked Sheriff in a real straight town
She opened the door shake shake the lights go down
B
Clover honey and the Jimson Weed
E
Red leather skirt way up above her knees
B E F#
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
She's a gone lost dirt road
There ain't no way back I been told
Well she's a story they all tell
She's a rebel, she's a yell
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
E7
White heat in a cold rain
B
I'm a mergin here in your mergin lane
E
Jockey La Fayette, Big Eyed Al
F#
The second hand moon's shining for my gal
She's a big red flag in a mean bullpen
She'll steal it from you, sell right
Back to you again
Well she's a whild rose, she's not settled
Cold gun of ice blue metal, oh
My baby's lowdown
White heat in a cold rain
I'm a mergin here in your mergin lane
Jockey la Fayette, Big Eyed Al
She's a cheap motel with a burned out sign
She'll take care of you definitely every time
She got a stolen check book and leg's upto here
Singing into a hairbrush
Right in front of the mirror
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
