A letra:
All
the sailors they're all home from leave
And everybody's waiting
for them to try to deceive
The storekeepers have drawn their lace
curtains bare
And all the women and the wee young girls all
waiting there
Oh, but how the ladies pay
Oh, if
they only knew how the ladies pay
Yeah now, how the ladies pay
Oh,
when the men they've gone away
Nobody is standing on upon the door
And
nobody is feeding any of the poor
The poor sick soldier lies in
bed beside his girl
Thinking of another place on the other side of
the world
Ah
How the ladies pay
Oh-oh, oh, how
the ladies pay
When the men they've gone away
Oh, I wish I knew
how the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the
ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day
and night
Night and day
Day and night
Day and night, night
and day, ladies pay now
Night and day, day and night
How the
ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day
and night now
Night and day and now
How the pay now
Oh, how
the pay now
Ladies pay, ladies pay
Ah, ladies
pay the way now
Ladies pay, ah, ladies pay
Ah, ladies pay
Night
and day, night and day, night and day
Oh, how the ladies pay
Oh,
night and day, night and day, night and day
Oh, how the ladies pay
