Jethro Tull Ladies Lyrics

Ladies of leisure, with their eyes on the back roads,
All looking for strangers, to whom they extend welcomes
With a smile and a glimpse of pink knees and elbows,
Of satin and velvet--good ladies, good fortune.
Ladies.

They sing of their heroes, of solitary soldiers
Invested in good health and manner most charming.
Whose favors are numbered (nonetheless, well intended)
By hours in a minute, by those ladies who bless them.
Ladies.
