Jessie by Kerri Watt Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jessie was a girl of the night with auburn curly hair
Jessie sang and danced for rogues and regals
She put out for her money knowing it wasn't fair
But still, she’d flash around her silks and frills
Jessie, to save her own life, was quick to tell a lie
A skill she'd learned from running with the tramps
But she was lion-hearted, you would never see her cry
And her family disappeared without a glance

[Chorus]
And they'd sing
Oh, Jessie, don’t be shy tonight
It's showtime, get in line, she's such a crimе
Oh, Jessie, give thе boys a smile
It's just a job, you know

[Verse 2]
Jessie, she looked lovely in her long lacy pants
But lovely ain't so lovely around here
She fascinated farmers and they'd fantasise about her
Grinning as they finished off a beer
[Chorus]
And they'd sing
Oh, Jessie, don't be shy tonight
It’s showtime, get in line, she’s such a crime
Oh, Jessie, give the boys a smile
It's just a job, you know

[Bridge]
Jessie’s days were numbered in that dirty dying bar
She didn't have a lot of common sense
And she fell for a rich guy who had secrets in the dark
And covered in her own blood she was left

[Chorus]
And they'd sing
Oh, Jessie, don't be shy tonight
It’s showtime, get in line, she's such a crime
Oh, Jessie, give the boys a smile
It's just a job, you know
And they'd sing
Oh, Jessie, don't be shy tonight
It's showtime, get in line, she's such a crime
Oh, Jessie, give the boys a smile
It's just a job, you know

[Outro]
Oh, Jessie, I'm talking to you
Oh, Jessie, I'm talking to you
Oh, Jessie, I'm talking to you
Oh, Jessie
