[00:05.17] A scarlet woman
[00:05.96] By the people
[00:07.56] Who would go to church
[00:09.96] But left me in the streets
[00:12.60] With no parents
[00:14.21] Of my own
[00:15.26] I never had a home
[00:17.67] And a eighteen year old

[00:21.92] She found me outside
[00:24.57] One Sunday morning
[00:26.18] Begging money from a man
[00:29.36] I didn't know
[00:31.48] She took me in

[01:06.82] Just thirty-five
[01:08.94] Who was spoken to

[01:13.44] She managed
[01:14.79] A late evening business
[01:18.23] Like most of the town
