There's a house on the outside of town Where the ladies they dress so fine We stopped there on our way but I had no means to pay 'Cause the ladies are the loving kind My comrades they all went inside And the ladies they soon complied I lay down alone to wait for the dawn The ground it was cold and hard It was late when she came to me As I lay there in misery She took me to her room and she made me feel so warm Lady, you're a sweet memory 'Cause tomorrow I ride to the war Where many have gone before My brothers have gone and I must follow on God knows what we're fighting for Keep the lamp in your window burning bright And I'll watch it till we ride out of sight And if I lose the track when I'm trying to make it back I'll be guided by your loving light 'Cause who's to say if it's right or if it's wrong When a lady is the loving kind It don't matter much to me what you are or used to be 'Cause lady you lay sweet on my mind There's a house on the outside of town Where the ladies they dress so fine We stopped there on our way but I had no means to pay 'Cause the ladies are the loving kind |
