[Chorus]
Let fall your sGoft and swaying sDkirt
Let fall your shAoes, let fall your sEmhirt
I'm not the laGdy killing soDrt
Enough to AhurtG a girl in pDort

[Verse 1]
Marie's gone blGonde and lost a sDtone
She lay on her lAawn, spun and alEmone
And, when the moGrning sun it roDse
Upon MAarie in her lacy cloEmthes
[Verse 2]
It lit her Gup, and she walked arDound
The winding strAeets of Camden TEmown
She don't know wGho she wants to Dbe
And if I knAew, I'd tGell MaDrie
[Chorus]
Let fall your sGoft and swaying sDkirt
Let fall your shAoes, let fall your sEmhirt
I'm not the laGdy killing soDrt
Enough to AhurtG a girl in pDort

[Verse 3]
And Cindy teGlls me she's had fDun
Sitting backstAage, someone's plus oEmne
Up in her rGoom the records sDpin
Needle in the groAoves that she's worn tEmhin
[Verse 4]
She lifts a slGeeve and she sees a nDame
And she's got a smAile on her fEmace
And she's got a stGory you can't sDee
That's just betwAeen that namGe and CindDy

[Verse 5]
And before HoGlly made her wDay
Over the sAea and far awEmay
She's telling Gme, inside her cDar
Driving us bAack from the Crystal Corner bEmar
[Verse 6]
"I lost it thGere, I fell from heaDlth
Cut some fresh pieAces from myEmself"
And then, for a seGcond, something in Dme
Said, "Leave toAday. It's tiGme, HoDlly" It's time.

[Verse 7]
Well, I'm a wGeak and lonely soDrt
Though I'm not saAiling just for spEmort
I've come to fGeel, out on the sDea
These urgent livAes press against Emme
[Verse 8]
I'm just a guGest. I'm not a paDrt
With my tender hAead, with my easy hEmeart
These several yeGars out on the sea D
Made me empty, cold, and clAear. Pour yoursGelf into Dme
[Chorus]
Let fall your sGoft and swaying sDkirt
Let fall your shAoes, let fall your sEmhirt
I'm not the laGdy killing soDrt
Enough to AhurtG a girl in pDort A
