I know a lady, lady, of easy virtue,

I know a lady, lady, of easy virtue.

 At the passers by, she winks her eye.
Bb5                                 Eb5              F5
 Fools take up the offer, they say; stolen waters is sweet,

 In the twilight of the evening, the moon shines bright,
Eb5                                      Eb5            F5
 Bread is pleasant when eaten in secret, bosom of fire; must resist it.
