Pretty Girl Blues

by Big Sexy

/

lyrics

Verse I

In ’77 , I was holding Jack’s hand,
We were kissing in his basement
When I saw two other men,
They came a rushing ‘round,
And they held me down
Laughed like little schoolboys
As they pinned me to the ground.

Chorus

My sisters claimed - I was Joline the Queen
They said my beauty was meant for the silver screen,
But no movie agent ever intervened
Unless I paid my dues.
Pretty girl blues.

Verse II

In 81 I married a man named Tom
Не was working at the mill
When something went wrong
He was suddenly gone
His workmates eyed me up and down
At the cemetery grounds
As the pastor sang a song

Bridge

Your beauty is God given
But don’t step in my shoes
Those who make love to their mirrors
Are just a network of fools

Verse III

And now in my 50s I scrub the walls
With overtime work
Down at the banquet hall
The pay is ok
My life has faded away.
When I look in the mirror
I see wrinkles and grey

Chorus

My sisters claimed - I was Joline the Queen
They said my beauty was meant for the silver screen,
But no movie agent ever intervened
Unless I paid my dues.
Pretty girl blues.
