The house down by the tracks
Verse
There’s a house on the other side of the tracks
Where men go when they get paid.
There’s a madam and her seven fine daughters.
All of them loving maids.
Pre chorus
If you’re tight you stop at the red light.
For a price they’ll let you in
.beginners or sinners they don’t care.
Their business is pleasing men.
Chorus
At the house down by the tracks
The house down by the tracks.
Verse
For a price they are nice. They’ll do a man right
And never ask for a ring.
But when the money runs dry they’ll say goodbye.
The madam will ask them to leave.

Where the red lights on till the light of dawn.
Till all of their money is gone.

At the house down by the tracks
The house down by the tracks.

Five o'clock whistle blows
The boys need to relax
Such girls are predisposed
At that house down by the tracks

Looking for a sort of house of the rising sun or la grange vibe. Strictly business for the gals at the house.

Romance for a price
But they keep coming back
Those girls are so nice
At that house down by the tracks

That may just have it.

Perhaps you're already conflicted about this one... How about, instead of typically playing up the hot girls, illustrate how both sides of the business is emotionally dead.

They get their revenge in twenties and tens.
It’s their way of using men.

They could have been good girls.
Could have been house wives.
Could have been soccer moms.
Bad men ruined their lives.

Sally's got a place
On the south side of the tracks
And when the boys get paid
They all know where it's at
There's flowers and a fence
And the neighbors are aware
All of Sally's friends
Have bedrooms upstairs
There's mirrors and makeup
Dresses and perfume
Well practiced smiles
But don't ever assume
That this place is home
All guests will be leaving soon
