Here’s a story of a roaring mining town
And the gal who really knew her way around.
There’s still talk of that event
Cause the way she came and went.
She took the town and turned it upside down.
With her red silk stockings and her green perfume
She blew into this man’s town with a silver boon.
Never was any trouble but she started some soon
With her red silk stockings and her green perfume.
Oh the town was growin'
And the money was flowin'
And the boys were throwin' it around.
Oh the red silk stockings and the green perfume.
She was singing a love song in the gamblin' hall.
When along came a stranger
He was handsome and tall.
He won every last dollar that we had in the room.
And the red silk stockings and the green perfume.
Oh the town was growin'
And the money was flowin'
And the boys were throwin' it around.
Oh the red silk stockings and the green perfume.
Oh she promised to meet me by the silvery moon.
She was meeting that stranger by the cactus dune.
All she left was a memory of a honky tonk tune.
And her red silk stockings and her green perfume.
Oh the town was growin'
And the money was flowin'
And the boys were throwin' it around.
For the red silk stockings and the green perfume.
