lyrics

Naked Ghost Of A Murray River Queen

If you're heading down the Murray- on a paddle steamer from yesterday
If you're heading down the Murray - hit the tables it's time to play
Maybe you'll get lucky - you know what they say
Here's hoping lady luck will smile on you today

They might be dealing out a fortune - but the cards all come what may
And if the gold starts piling up - a few ounces could come my way
I could show you such a good time - I'll leave you short of breath
I'm just the type of girl who could love you half to death

Sometimes you'll think you see me - out of the corner of your eye
Or standing in the shadows - just wearing stockings and a wicked smile
You'll pinch yourself do a double take - you won't believe you've seen
The naked ghost of a Murray River queen

Solo 1

You'll head back to your cabin - unsteady on your feet
The deck all bathed in moonlight - and who should you chance to meet?
We'll get inside your cabin - you'll do all things obscene
With the naked ghost of a Murray River queen

Solo 2

The night is long and dark - but come the morning light
The night is long and dark - but in the morning something's not right
You'll be cold and clammy - and wish you'd never seen
The naked ghost of a Murray River queen...

Outro solo
