Fortuna

Born in Carson City
N.V. In 1870
A prostitute was your mother
She did what she had
To provide for her daughter
Father was shot in the back
When she was age 16
Mother died of the clap
When she was age 17

Been on your own since then
When into the business to make meets end

Fortuna, Fortuna, Fortuna
A tough floozy from 1893
The strongest hussy of Bisbee A.Z.
Half Chinese, exotic as can be
Fortuna, Fortuna, Fortuna
The best whore of 18 94
Carved out her nest, savvier than the rest
The best breasts in the wild, wild west

Half Chinese half Caucasian
Exotic and half Asian
All the men wanted you
Back when interracial love was taboo

Conducting business in her crib
So she could earn to live
Fortuna was high class
Earning a ransom in cash
Charging six times what others cost
Fortuna was her own boss
Hosting clients of high stature
Law men, doctors and pastors
Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp,
And Kid curry she all knew
Gave them all a go or two

Hid five pistols under her skirt
Mess with her and you'd get hurt

Fortuna, Fortuna, Fortuna
A tough floozy from 18 93
The strongest hussy of Bisbee A.Z.
Half Chinese, exotic as can be
Fortuna, Fortuna, Fortuna
The best whore of 1894
Carved out her nest, savvier than the rest
The best breasts in the wild, wild west

Respected by the community
Didn't put up with bigotry
Would let the racists know
Respect they had better show.

An entrepreneur
Always looking demure
In her haut couture
Wearing the latest fashions
Style was her passion
When women relied on men
She showed the world that a woman can

Stuck a silver dollar
Up into her flower
To not get pollinated
Didn't want to raise a child
Where the west was wild

Her best client was Jake Elliot
A U.S. Law Marshall
To her he was partial
Jake liked to smoke cigars
Once took down an outlaw
A woman named Bell Star

Kid curry was wishy washy
Re-nigged on a horse from the livery
Didn't pay her fee, owed her 80
Went to C.O. with Elliott
Her money she was gonna get
Tired him up to a cactus
Wanted to make him stick
Left him there for the local sheriff

Fortuna married Jake
A retirement she'd now take
Up north the would both go
To live their lives in San Francisco

Stayed alive until age one oh one
1971
Was the end of her run
Her legacy continues on
Even though she's long, long gone
