Satan's a woman all dressed up to kill


The Phenix City Blues song is the best part of the movie:

(Meg Myles)

I love your ever-lovin' lovin' arms

(Band)

Satan's a woman all dressed up to kill
Satan's a woman all dressed up to kill
In a honky tonky city of sin
With a sawdust soul perfumed with gin
Satan's a woman all dressed up to kill

Fancy women, slot machines and booze
Fancy women, slot machines and booze
With no more money in the sock
And 30 days in the Dixie dock
You wind up with those Phenix City blues

Lose those Phenix City blues
Lose those Phenix City blues

(Meg Myles)

You gotta hold me tight
You gotta hold me oh so tight
In your ever-lovin' lovin' arms

You gotta kiss me sweet
Cause when you kiss me oh so sweet
I shiver from my eyebrows right down to my feet

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Got me with your captivatin' charms
Oh, t'aint no sin
to wanna just be in
Your ever-lovin' lovin'
That's what I love
Your ever- lovin' lovin' arms

(Band)

Woman's body is made of flesh and bone
Woman's body is made of flesh and bone
Tied together with a ball of twine
With a paper heart for a valentine
A woman's mind that's strictly all her own

Tell me tell me have you heard the news?
Tell me tell me have you heard the news?
You can't go sinning there no more
They put a big fat padlock on the door

You can lose those Phenix City blues
Lose those Phenix City blues
Lose those Phenix City blues ah

(Meg Myles)

I love your ever-lovin' lovin' arms
