The Hooker - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

Where do you go at night[00:00:07]

Where do you go at night[00:00:09]

Wrapped in your cheap cologne[00:00:12]

Where do you go at night[00:00:14]

Down to the pit with the stinking air[00:00:18]

And the smell of the sweat[00:00:20]

And the death is there[00:00:21]

I dance for a dollar[00:00:22]

And I dance for a dime[00:00:23]

Till their eyes are begging[00:00:24]

And their pockets are mine[00:00:25]

I pick a body and I name my fee[00:00:27]

I take their money and they take me[00:00:29]

That's where I go at night[00:00:31]

That's where I go at night[00:00:33]

Don't point your finger[00:00:36]

Say your prayers at me[00:00:39]

The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it[00:00:41]

Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it[00:00:44]

How do you spend your days[00:00:54]

How do you spend your days[00:00:56]

When you can sleep no more[00:00:58]

How do you spend your days[00:01:00]

I rise at four in the afternoon[00:01:04]

I take a match and the kitchen spoon[00:01:06]

I wrap my arm in an old necktie[00:01:09]

And I find religion on the very first try[00:01:11]

I wash my face and I comb my hair[00:01:13]

My looks are going but I just don't care[00:01:15]

And that's how I spend my days[00:01:18]

That's how I spend my days[00:01:20]

Don't point your finger[00:01:23]

Say your prayers at me[00:01:25]

The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it[00:01:28]

Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it[00:01:30]

Where do you find your love[00:01:40]

Where do you find your love[00:01:42]

Where do you run to him[00:01:45]

Where do you find your love[00:01:47]

I find my love in an old hotel[00:01:51]

He's mean and wicked and he knows me well[00:01:53]

He takes my body he takes my mind[00:01:55]

Takes my money and he beats me blind[00:01:57]

Says he'll help me but he won't say when[00:02:00]

Sends me walking on the streets again[00:02:02]

And that's where I find my love[00:02:04]

That's where I find my love[00:02:07]

Don't point your finger[00:02:10]

Say your prayers at me[00:02:12]

The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it[00:02:15]

Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it[00:02:17]

How will you spend your life[00:02:27]

How will you spend your life[00:02:29]

While ladies play at cards[00:02:32]

How will you spend your life[00:02:34]

Lying in a circle of velvet rooms[00:02:38]

Dying in six inch carpet tombs[00:02:40]

Hiding in the gutter with the aching pains[00:02:42]

Trading the years for the aching veins[00:02:45]

Dying at last when the tricks are few[00:02:47]

And I can't get action from a john like you[00:02:49]

Ah that's how I spend my life[00:02:52]

That's how I spend my life[00:02:54]

Don't point your finger[00:02:57]

Say your prayers at me[00:02:59]

The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it[00:03:02]

Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it[00:03:04]
