Crib Girl

I'm a Crib Girl
I've fallen frail
Here on Hell's Half Acre
I'm a Crib Girl
I've fallen frail
Here on Hell's Half Acre

I am a lady of the half world
Le Nymph Du Pave
I'm a 50 cent misery
A soiled dove
I was a cottage girl,
I was a daughter of joy
Lady Demi Monde
Me and Calamity Jane
We could stay in the game
All night long

I was drinking with
Big Nose Katie
And Sadie the Sow
Between us we could
Put that whole damn
Bottle down
It was a rough night
There was a hell of a fight
Over the Spanish Rose
She was a real wild child
She broke it up and smiled
And ended up entertaining them both

Well Poker Faced Alice didn't mess around
Everybody knew she ran the best bang house in town
But when they found poor Jenny
Stone cold in bed
Poker Faced Alice, well
She saw red
And she stalked the bastard who did it and she shot him down

I'm a Crib Girl
I've fallen frail
Here on Hell's Half Acre.

I'm a Crib Girl
I've fallen frail
Here on Hell's Half Acre.
