Sinful Daughter

Sinful daughter

Sinful daughter

Sinful daughter, sinful girl.

They call her shameless

They call her wanted

They say she poisoned every well

They call her Delilah

And Magdalena

And they call her Jezebel.

Sinful daughter

Sinful daughter

All alone in a sinful world

Banished and branded

Forced to wander

Sinful daughter, sinful girl.

Well the preacher in pulpit

Says hell and damnation

Is the destination she is bound

Livin' in darkness

Lost and forsaken

Driftin' town to town.

Sinful daughter

Sinful daughter

All alone in a sinful world

Banished and branded

Forced to wander

Sinful daughter, sinful girl.

Sisters and mothers

Fathers and brothers

They all shun her

Unless she atones

But let the one who is not sinful

Yeah, they can throw the stone.

Sinful daughter

Sinful daughter

All alone in a sinful world

Banished and branded

Forced to wander

Sinful daughter, sinful girl.

Sinful daughter

Sinful daughter

Sinful daughter, sinful girl.
