Lyrics
Chorus
“You are going far away
But remember what I say
When you are in the city’s giddy whirl
From temptations, crimes and follies
Villains, taxicabs and trolleys
Oh, heaven will protect a working girl”
Chorus
“Stand back, villain! Go your way!
Here I will no longer stay
Although you were a marquis or an earl
You may tempt the upper classes
With your villainous demitasses
But Heaven will protect a working girl”
Performance
