[Verse 1]
D Bb A G
One little girl, fair as a pearl,
F C F
Worked every day in a laundry;
Eb C Bb A
All that she made for food she paid,
E D G
So she slept on a park bench so soundly;
F A F A
An old procuress spied her there,
A C A C
She came and whispered in her ear:
[Chorus]
D Eb C
Come with me now, my girly,
E D F
Don't sleep out in the cold;
G Eb D
Your face and tresses curly
D F# C
Will bring you fame and gold,
D Eb C E D F
Automobiles to ride in, diamonds and silk to wear,
G Bb F D
You'll be a star bright, down in the red light,
C Bb
You'll make your fortune there.
[Verse 2]
D Bb A G
Same little girl, no more a pearl,
F C F
Walks all alone 'long the river,
Eb C Bb A
Five years have flown, her health is gone,
E D G
She would look at the water and shiver,
F A F A
Whene'er she'd stop to rest and sleep,
A C A C
She'd hear a voice call from the deep:
[Chorus]
D Eb C
Come with me now, my girly,
E D F
Don't sleep out in the cold;
G Eb D
Your face and tresses curly
D F# C
Will bring you fame and gold,
D Eb C E D F
Automobiles to ride in, diamonds and silk to wear,
G Bb F D
You'll be a star bright, down in the red light,
C Bb
You'll make your fortune there.
[Verse 3]
D Bb A G
Girls in this way, fall every day,
F C F
And have been falling for ages,
Eb C A
Who is to blame? You know his name,
E D G
It's the boss that pays starvation wages.
F A F A
A homeless girl can always hear
A C A C
Temptations calling everywhere.
[Chorus]
D Eb C
Come with me now, my girly,
E D F
Don't sleep out in the cold;
G Eb D
Your face and tresses curly

Will bring you fame and gold,

You'll be a star bright, down in the red light,
