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 growing
And the money was flowing
And the boys were throwing it around
Oh, the red silk stockings and the green perfume
She was singing a love song in the gambling 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 growing
And the money was flowing
And the boys were throwing 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 growing
And the money was flowing
And the boys were throwing it around
Oh, the red silk stockings and the green perfume
