See-line woman,
She drink coffee,
She drink tea
And then go home.
See-line woman,
See-line woman
Dressed in green
Wears silk stockings
With golden seams
See-line woman,
See-line woman
Dressed in red
Wear a rag round her head.
See-line woman
Dressed in white
Sleep all day,
Ball all night.
See-line woman
Black dress on,
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan.
See-line woman
Wiggle wiggle,
Turn like a cat,
Wink at a man,
And he wink back.
Now, child,
See-line woman
Empty his pockets
And wreck his days,
Make him love her
And she'll fly away.
See-line woman
Take it on out now,
Empty his pockets,
And she wreck his days,
And she make him love her,
Then she sure fly away.
She got a black dress on,
For a thousand dollars,
She wail and she moan…
