She was a rip-roarin’, tip-toe’n, Queen of the Boardwalk Blues
She had nothin’ much left, but a dream, I guess
And she never did run out of fuel
She had a rose in her hair, and a fire in her stare
Five dollars to her name
But you were richer than most when she took your hand
And those steely eyes met your gaze
She was a real smooth talkin’, hot coal walkin’
Daughter of a son of a gun
She was in everybody’s rumors, had a twisted sense of humor
But she could always find some fun
She was a double-crossin’, people-bossin’
Mixture of sand and salt
She had this funny way of knowin’ when not to come around
And this funny way of not carin’ at all
She was a photo-takin’, young heart breakin’
Girl of the Underground
She didn’t speak much, she let her feet do the talkin’,
So you listened when she made a sound
And all she said was…
“I’m just this rip-roarin’,
tip-toe’n,
Queen of the Blues
With nothin’ left to lose.
Let’s hope I never run out of fuel.”
