Lyrics

down the line we’ve got so far to go
she was just a sailor’s sweetheart don’t you know
handprint on the wall – the whiskey’s gone, my mammy knows
the little gypsy tea room all colored rose

paint your wagon oh paint it red
paint it for the devil at the back door
he rolls them dice on a scattered whisper now
he rolls them dice on words muttered

out of time the cradle starts to roll
open back dresses catch your eye just so
gold sash at the ready to blindfold your soul
This is the tea room of plentiful rose

paint your wagon oh paint it red
paint it for the devil at the back door
he rolls them dice on a scattered whisper now
he rolls them dice on words muttered

jealousy gallivanting through the patches
street corner lights bright as the flash of matches
no matter sailor joe sees beatrice and fetches
welcome to the tea room of the wretches

paint your wagon oh paint it red
paint it for the devil at the back door
he rolls them dice on a scattered whisper now
he rolls them dice on, words-
