Rory Gallagher - Tattoo'd Lady Lyrics
Tattoo'd Lady,
Bearded baby,
They're my family.
When I was lonely,
I could always be.
Where I could,
Wish for pennies,
If we had any.
You'd meet me down,
At the shooting gallery.
Yes I'm a,
Fair ground baby.
Fall for the pearly queen.
I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.
I'm not fooling,
When I say I got no schoolin',
Never like the class bell sound.
From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be.
You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn.
Alright...
Now hear it on the loud speaker say,
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see,
Yeah he's a death cheater,
Some kind of central heater,
Be sure to save a seat for me.
Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie,
She's no baby,
The law came,
And tried to close her sideshow down.
But soon she had the D.A. cheering,
The police chief wearing,
Her garter for a crown.
I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.
I'm not fooling,
When I say I got no schoolin',
Never like the school bell sound.
From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be.
You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn.
Yeahh...
Tattoo'd Lady,
Bearded baby,
They're my family.
When I was lonely,
Something told me, where,
I could always be.
Where I could,
Wish for pennies,
If we had any.
You'd meet me down,
At the shooting gallery.
Tattoo'd lady...

Νεά Φιλαδέλφεια. Παραλίγο να χασουμε και εμείς κα αυτόν. Οσοι ήταν εκεί γνωρίζουνν από πρώτο χέρι. Δακρυγό και γκλομπ πάνε παρέα. Αλλ'α όταν είσαι (τέτοιος) Ιρλανδός δεν καταλαβαίνεις τίποτα.
Der Mann war authentisch, echt, ließ nur die Musik für sich sprechen.....ohne Firlefanz und groß Gedöns!
I see comments of every greek on rory's song.

You understand what l have known for a quite a while. Rory not just a virtuoso but an excellent song writer
best irish musican ever 👏👋
Rory's God !
Damn sure one of the greatest to sling an axe and he was a great vocalist too!!
Rory es Dios
Quality.
The santly and very blessed Rory Gallagher did not mind who he meet up with along his travels , he treated everyone with the utmost respect in his very fine gentle Irish way, Rory was from the land of saints and scholars. he was the LAST OF THE INDEPENDANTS. Rory hung out with the Tattoo'd Lady, spend some time with the Daughter of the Everglades, meet with Philby and studied his Fresh Evidence, gave advise to The King Of Zydeco, When Rory was a cowboy and rode out on the Western Plain the meet a young man who was suffering from the Pistol Slapper Blues Rory gave him good advise and send him happily on his way back home. Rory would Walk on hot coals with just a Just the smile upon his face. Rory was never Bowed But Not Broken, he battled all the way through to the end to give his people only the very best that he could give,2nd was not good enough for Rory or his follower. When God called his guitar angle back home he arranges for Jesus with Saint Peter & Saint Patrick to meet him at Heavens Gate and they all requested Rory to play a acoustic set of him many songs before giving his new set of wings which were specially designed not to interfere with Rory wild guitar playing style. What other person would walk on hot coals then thank his audience Rory Gallagher that's who. Rory you are not a million miles away, as the crow flies in my mind you are just down the road paying one of your gigs with your old palls Rod de'Ath, Lou Martin, Phil Lynott, Gary Moore, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Sunny Boy Williams, Howling Wolf, Ronny Drue, Jonny Winters and many hundreds of the great players you meet with along the .
Taras curi piri lamane yes very good and the girl
Had this 8 track back in the 70's. Loved it then and now.
trasformata in greco, ,,,,,,e tutta un altra cosa,,,,,,,, ci@o e naste kala !!! r i p nase kala opou k nase Rory (*)
Ο Μαργαριτης κυκλοφορισε το αλμπουμ το 83 και ο Ρορι το 73.. Ελεος βρε πατριοτακια
Το 2001 βγήκαν οι δρόμοι του πουθενά
This song reminds me of a band named BOSTON xD still in 2018 <3
Αγαπημένο !!!
Never like the school bell sound
What a tune!!!
I have just been advised to pass on this completely true story. When Rory passed on from this place, Saint Peter was given a day off from work, God with his son Jesus stood in for St Peter as they wanted to meet their man as he walked up to the main gates. they had a special request to make to Rory. God & Jesus asked Rory would he do a special gig for them, the already had a stage set up with a selection of their other favorite players. Rory agreed and jumped up and stage Philip Parris "Phil" Lynott, James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix, Robert William Gary Moore, Willy DeVille and John Henry Bonham are played all night long down in the Kingdom Hall, the place packing the place out with Jesus up is the front most nights having a great time rocking out and God is very pleased with the good works. Rory and his new boys have been on a none stop tour playing up to 5 nights each week, they a fully booked way in to the future. They play down at the Kingdom Hall almost every saturday night with long queues of people backing way down the streets and around the block

So genuine, so original , a delicius piece of music
Δώστα όλα, Rory
Κλείνω τα μάτια ν’ ακούσω τη φωνή σου
Κλείνω τα μάτια να νιώσω το φιλί
Κι αν έκλεψα ανάσα απ’ τη δική σου
Ήτανε νύχτα και τώρα είναι πρωί
Δε με νοιάζει, μη σε νοιάζει
Οι δρόμοι που τραβάμε
κι ο δικός σου κι ο δικός μου
Στο πουθενά μας πάνε
Κλείσε τα μάτια τώρα είναι η σειρά σου
Νιώσε τον πόνο άγγιξε την πληγή
Κι αν νόμιζες για λίγο πως σου ανήκω
Ήτανε νύχτα και τώρα είναι πρωί
malakies skuladwn..!
i used to do a lot of coke on this tune
Did it not get stuck in the grooves
Awsome cheers for upload

Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby, they're my family
When I was lonely, something told me where I could always be
Where I could wish for pennies, if we had any
You'd meet me down at the shooting gallery
Yes, I'm a fair ground baby, wonder what made me
Fall for the Pearly Queen
I spent my youth under canvas roof
As I roamed from town to town
I'm not fooling when I say I got no schoolin'
Never like the school bell sound
From the caravan, I hear the fairground band
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found
If you look around, tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn, alright
Now hear it on the loud speaker say
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see
Yeah, he's a death cheater, some kind of central heater
Be sure to save a seat for me, hey
Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie
She's no baby, the law came and tried to close her sideshow down
But soon she had the, the cheering
The police chief wearing her garter for a crown
I spent my youth under canvas roof
As I roamed from town to town
Not fooling when I say I got no schoolin'
Never like the school bell sound
From the caravan, I hear the fairground band
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found
If you look around, tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn, yeah, yeah
Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby, they're my family

EKLAAAPSAAA
Sorry but this song is so much better live!
Rory isn't a studio musician...
Equally, although Thin Lizzy formed in 1969, their first album was in 1971. Gary was also in Skid Row and Thin Lizzy. So, Thin Lizzy and Gary Moore were notably influenced by Gallagher, to an extent. And probably even later. Seeing they are also from Ireland. There is some similarity in the music, if only just.
Brian May also talks about Gallagher, as been great, and important, although does not elaborate too much, or really express too much, since he could have.
Now, Gallagher gets mentioned quite a lot, generally, although not enough. Rolling Stone mag has rated him just 57 as all time great guitarist. Best. Stranger things, since he should be somewhere in the top ten. Given his authenticity. Granted, he was not a commercial success, or likely seen as an influence, really. Typically, he never ventured to be a rock star.
Personally, those lists make no real sense, seeing so many make the list and others do not, or placed in the wrong positions. Gallagher could be the most naturally gifted guitarist of all time. Again, based really on the fact he was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter. Still, not a band, as such? Or, writing obvious or mostly progressive rock songs. Still, much of his material is well orchestrated and original.
In truth, Gallagher is now really enjoying a cult following. More people are discovering him. Clapton is nowhere as good as this, in terms of authenticity, and lost the plot very early on. His music not very listenable, or would ever venture to listen. and probably would wish to have been like Gallagher.
Ex-puolison lemppari on ruvennu soimaan mulla päässä....Hybä biisi hyvällä kitaristilla....
One of the greatest rock songs ever
rory athanate mono rock
Lo recuerdo cuando era un niño. Lo descubri por casualidad.Alla por el año 77 o 78. Cayo en mis manos de carambola,ya que iba en busca de un cassete de ac/dc , creo que high voltage, o powerage.El dependiente me dijo que estaban agotados ambos. . . y me recomendo a rory gallagher,creo que salia el en portada con el micro y guitarra. Lo escuche y me impresiono su destraza con la guitarra. Una lastima que falleciera con tan solo 48 o 49 años. Era un genio con la guitarra y cantando.
the bridge sounds like another song
Layla?the acoustic version
Me recuerda mi adolescencia...quizas envejezca mal..esos punteos se me hacen un poco o muy pesados. Aún asi me gusta su voz. Mi hermanos mayor (ya fallecido) lo vió ne Madrid entre 1974-1976.
+Gonzalo Dotras nah puro blues el maestro gallagher
Gonzalo Dotras Es que esta iba a quedar grabada, sin público, versión original, presentación de la canción, la versión definitiva, dando nombre al larga duración, se curro mucho los solos, en distintas versiones posteriores en directo toca menos notas, menos velocidad, se queda en una o dos escalas sin comerse la cabeza, si no hubiéramos acabado casi todos sus fans, no solo el, muertos como Hendrix con 27 años.
Algunas veces durante los años noventa y tal sustituye parte del solo por feedback dando más importancia a la distorsión que a la digitacion, alargando los finales con solo un acorde, usando algunos pequeños trucos en lugar de estar todo el solo moviéndose por el mástil. Lo que nunca cambia, parece, es las pocas notas finales del solo/canción y entonces va el último acorde.
the sweet sound
Love it ..
thank you for the music Rory 🎸🎸🎸
this is not Rory. go to Rorys video tattod lady and commend there
Rorschach-Testrecord 24 Track 18
the first song of Rory, I heard in Finland as a child. Remember always!
12-09-1981 ATHENS LIVE.....
Μπορω να χορέψω ζεϊμπέκικο με αυτο ? Χαχαχαχχα
I'm just another phantom of the night. Lurking in the shadows of the soul fly. Time to light that barbecue suicide? Possibly but first a toast to the life of my death.
Καταπληκτικό κομμάτι!
Great song. I am lucky to be old enough to have seen him back in the daze that this album was out....He sure is the seventh son of the seventh son.
Lucky you! I'm old enough but he was never close, so I didn't have the pleasure of seeing him! DAMN hate that too!
me tooooooooooooo
Keith Gordon
I also saw Rory back in the "daze."
I saw him at the Miami Agora Ballroom.
Keith Gordon Rip Rory.. I ripped up My Tickets in A Rage with my Tattooed Lady 1989? The Devil Raging Within! But! WE Kissed n Made Up And Then Ran A Motorcyle Rock Bar.. Awsome.. My God son Got A gig Job playing Base for Robert Plant. WE ROCKED!That joint to its Foundations.. Then I Rode off in A Blaze of FURY! HARLEY LUJAH! The Story Is Rolling On! That aint The Half Of It!😎
@Crown Commando seen him often on my 18th birthday shook my hand can still feel his
Anybody that dislikes this should be nuked
Are you 12?
I agree, but there would be too much collateral
They should be shot with a ball of their own shit.
Better than Clapton.
No he's right, better than Clapton
I've always considered Clapton sort of pathetic. That may sound cruel, but Clapton in his Cream days was an incredibly creative guitarist. He was one of the few big-name guys playing an SG and he absolutely rocked. That SG with the crazy paint job was Clapton's "signature" guitar. Then after that show where he jammed with Hendrix, Clapton was supposedly found back stage smoking a cig and was totally shaken by how good Jimi actually was. It was after watching Jimi just destroy worlds with his Strat at that show that Clapton switched to playing a Strat, and his creativity basically died. Questioning Clapton's talent would be idiotic, but his "magic" as a guitar player was basically destroyed just by watching Jimi play. That is incredibly weak-minded and pathetic in my opinion, to stop using your signature Gibson guitar and basically completely changing your playing "style" just because you watched another man play guitar live. It's almost like Jimi's level of talent scared Clapton to the point where he lost his "edge" as a guitarist. I mean he still made some great tunes after switching to the Strat, but he just wasn't the same player IMO. As far as watching a guitarist actually play live, I would take Hendrix, Page, Gallagher, Stevie Ray, Gilmour, and a LONG list of other fantastic guitarists over watching Clapton play. He just doesn't do ANYTHING for me.
You obviously havent heard spoonfull and crossroads off the wheels of fire album have you rorys in my top five but come he never played that good
@Jack Benton shut the fuck up you havent got a fucking clue you useless cunt
Awesome song
