lyrics

The ‘notorious’ Barbara Weldon

No doubt you’ve heard my name
I’m “notorious” on the beat
From those darkened alleyways
I’ll emerge with a sway through the Hokitika streets

You can judge me all you like
For I know the system well
Drunken without cause, vagrant and obscene
A one-way passage through to hell

Come take your fill whilst there’s still wine to sip
Catch every drop before it falls
A little taste of foreign shores
A treasure waiting for your ship

At five foot 1 I’m hardly tall
But I’ve plenty flesh to hold
Not as much as Porpoise Mary,
And one eye’s a little bleary but I promise to be bold

It’s not easy to compete
With the dancers in the bars
All their finery displayed
As the nuggets are being laid, bearing all the hidden scars

Come take your fill ……..

What other choice is there for me?
A soiled dove’s gotta make a livin,
Whilst the women tend to frown
As they walkabout town,
The men are always willin

Come take your fill.......
