"Roxianna" lyrics - STREETWALKERS

Well, Roxianna, oh, Roxianna, you let your face grow long
You've got too much make-up on
I said: 'What's been goin' on'
I still see the times that your eyes would shine.

When you answered up the door
But it ain't there no more
Oh, the years have took their score
You ain't the foxy Roxianna I knew before.

I seen the day that I'd call, I say: 'Is Roxianna free?'
Madame would answer sweet: 'Just call back after three'
Then you'd take me down in your Sunday gown
On the steamboat river ride.

Parasole open wide
There'd be laughter in your eyes
You were foxy, foxy Roxianna, said you were the pride
Oh, you were the pride.

Should have kept my dreams locked up it seems
Stayed away from here
And they'd still be just as clear
As I've nursed them through the years.

Remember when city gents would pitch their tents
Just to wait in line
But I get back and what I find
After all this time, you ain't the foxy Roxianna I left behind.

I left behind.
