She lives in a trailer on the outskirts of Reno
Plays quarter slots
In the local's casino
Every round goes higher, higher
She sings soldiers of the cross
A drink in one hand
Coins in the other
They drop in the slot
One after another
Every round goes higher, higher
She sings soldiers of the cross
When was it?
‘48 ‘49?
She was a girl
On the Hill County line
In a church with no screens
She waved a paper fan
She sang soldiers of the cross
She needs lights
She needs action
She needs change for a ten
She needs Camels, please
She needs gin
Every round goes higher, higher
Sings Soldiers of the cross
She sings we are climbing Jacob’s ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
She sings soldiers of the cross
