"Factory Girl" — Beggars Banquet (1968). An acoustic folk portrait of working-class England. Brian Jones plays oud.
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair
Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere
We get buses everywhere
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat
Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats
Her zipper's broken down the back
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night
She's a sight for sore eyes
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress
Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet
She ain't come out yet
Waiting for a factory girl

- From Beggars Banquet (1968). Brian Jones plays oud (North African lute). Rocky Dijon plays congas. A rare moment of acoustic folk tenderness on an album otherwise full of raw electric blues.
