GThere's a girl in a barroom  Cwe all know her Gwell
Her name fits the stories that A7some men like to D7tell
GShe may be young and pretty with lips red as Cwine
A girl who's eyes Greflect the years no D7make-up can Ghide
In her Cworld walk the lonely the Grejected and condemned
It's a A7world that once entered there's no D7turning back again
Like a Grose that lies crushed and Ccrumpled on the Gsand
She was created by heaven now D7destroyed by Gman
DeCstroyed by man and the Glove that she gave
Lost unless heaven counts her A7worthy to D7save
CMen don't respect her Gstill they hold her hand
She was created by heaven now D7destroyed by Gman
