Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlife Lyrics
just pour the gasoline
she don't get up until the sun goes down
she don't come down until the sun comes up
drinks her coffee from a broken cup
in a jacket or sunglasses
she didn't get to bed until ten a.m.
when the whiskey ran out she had enough of her friends
fussin' and fightin' she reminded them she hadn't slept for a hundred hours, yeah
sad eyed lady of the lowlife
come on, burn awhile with me, yeah
put the high life on the bonfire baby
lets go steal some gasoline
just pour the gasoline
she got hot in the heat on a cemetr'y walk
when a preacher, he tried to kiss her
well she knew the light would burn bright again
she seen the angels in the disco
ain't nobody gonna tell her when the fights are gonna start and the bells gonna ring
she'll be swinging when the whole world ends
looking for another tomorrow, yeah
sad eyed lady of the lowlife
come on, come on burn awhile with me, yeah
put the high life on the bonfire baby
lets go steal some gasoline
we'll build a fire an'light a match and watch the whole thing burn
we'll sweep out the ashes as this old world turns
in the mornin we'll be done nothin left
but in the mean just pour the gasoline
just pour the gasoline
just pour the gasoline
sad eyed lady of the lowlife
come on burn awhile with me, yeah
let's put the high life on the bonfire baby
let's go steal some gasoline
well build a fire light a match and watch the whole thing burn
sad eyed lady of the lowlife
come on, come on burn awhile with me, yeah
put the high life on the bonfire baby
lets go steal some gasoline
just pour the gasoline
she don't come down until the sun comes up
drinks her coffee from a broken cup
in a jacket or sunglasses
she didn't get to bed until ten a.m.
when the whiskey ran out she had enough of her friends
fussin' and fightin' she reminded them she hadn't slept for a hundred hours, yeah
come on, burn awhile with me, yeah
put the high life on the bonfire baby
lets go steal some gasoline
when a preacher, he tried to kiss her
well she knew the light would burn bright again
she seen the angels in the disco
ain't nobody gonna tell her when the fights are gonna start and the bells gonna ring
she'll be swinging when the whole world ends
looking for another tomorrow, yeah
come on, come on burn awhile with me, yeah

*first verse, line four could also be: "Jackie O sunglasses"
Yep, as Foggs said, it's "Jackie-O sunglasses". Have a listen to a live version and it's more evident. I understand the confusion, though. The studio cut annunciation is a bit odd. I suspect a direct result of a brit emulating a southern US accent.

I love Alabama 3. While critics understandably try to pigeon-hole them into an amalgamation of genres, I would venture to say they are their own genre much like Red Hot Chili Peppers started their own. While there's "nothing new under the sun" with regard to music in that there are only a finite...
I love Alabama 3. While critics understandably try to pigeon-hole them into an amalgamation of genres, I would venture to say they are their own genre much like Red Hot Chili Peppers started their own. While there's "nothing new under the sun" with regard to music in that there are only a finite amount of chord progressions that are pleasing to the the human ear, Alabama 3 melds their influences into a whole new monster. It takes real artistic talent to pull that off.
Great twist on Dylan's "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands", which is something A3 does often. They reference and mixup/mashup lots of classic songs and poems.
And I love girls like the ones described in this song. A hard-partying girl with a dark edge. A little self=destructive, and when you get together...well it's like pouring gasoline on a fire.
