Long-haired harlot she come a-dancin' Eyes on her chances I know her kind Ribbons of scarlet I seen 'em untangling Wrapping around a poor boy's mind
Chorus: Sunset woman, nobody needs you You're a worthless woman An aging overnight friend Sunset woman, nobody needs to be drowned in a wishing well of sin
Rocky Road Tavern Well, she's like a fixture there Looking to pull a stare from the five o'clock crowd Finding no takers for yesterday's paper She leaves and takes the back door out
(Chorus) Lord, a mystery sighs in disbelief She's leaving Her youth was burned The heads she once turned Well, they were gone And Lord, give her my smile And a coat to a soul worth saving Let's see for me she finds her way back home
(Chorus) Be drowned in a wishing well of sin Nobody wants to be drowned in a wishing well of sin
