GG Painted Lady with your painted face Tell me bout your life in this painted place Tell me with your lovin' lips and lovin' eyes I can feel the pain, I can see the fears on the painted cheeks that hide the tears Of a lovely lonesome cowgirl in disguise Talkin' bout a lovely lonesome cowgirl in disguise Chorus transcribed by OttMan marten@sky.net
