David Ford - The ballad of miss lily lyrics

Well there never was a girl like lily She was a pretty little heartbreak machine She had a way to part a fool and his money She was a lucky litte gambler's dream And she promised up the world and whatever And she could get a man to do anything And by the morning he'd be cleaned out and crawling on his knees But every night he let some poor fool sing He said i may not be a rich man baby But i'll tell you what i'm gonna do I'm gonna take you out tonight in the city I'm gonna spend all my money on you She'll take a seat up at the bar at around 7 And wait for some poor s**er stumbling by Yea and she'll pull him in and drag him on under And then she'll drown him in thoose big dark eyes And with the moonlight breaking through a litte crack in the sky Well he was broken and the damage is done He'd give up everything he had for a love that could never be Yea he'd be screaming at the top of his lungs He said i may not be a rich man baby But i'll tell you what i'm gonna do I'm gonna take you out tonight in the city I'm gonna spend all my money on you One day what came in to town some kind of big shot man All full of swagger like some hollywood scene I tried to tell him stay away from miss lily That woman's trouble if you know what i mean Well he just laughed and said i think i can take care of myself I said well don't pretend you haven't been warned They found him walking in the morning by the side of the road Yea he was naked as the day he was born He said i may not be a rich man baby But i'll tell you what i'm gonna do I'm gonna take you out tonight in the city I'm gonna spend all my money on you
