美Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show有多的歌曲都是出自於曲作家Shel Silverstein之手,像之前曾介的《Sylia's Mother》( 西薇雅的 )。首《The Ballad of Lucy Jordan》( 露西丹之歌 ) 也是,但是在Dr. Hook行此曲5年之後,於1979被英女歌手Marianne Faithfull唱的。
Marianne Faithfull原只是唱民的小歌手。1964,由於加了石的午餐派,被石的作人相中,接著推出了由主唱Mick Jagger和吉他手Keith Richards合的《As Tears Go By》,在英排行榜到了第9名,一成了知名的歌手。1965年5月,Marianne Faithfull嫁了和她一起加石派的John Dunbar。同年11月,Faithfull生下了一子,在1966丈夫,投向了Mick Jagger的抱,始了一段公的密,直至1970。

束了和Mick Jagge的,Marianne Faithfull不失去了子的,由於毒品成,甚至一度以敦的街道家,重的喉炎也因持的物用而造成了永久性的害 --- 沙及之前的高音唱不上去,歌唱事如螺旋般的落。
1979,Marianne Faithfull推出了她的第7《Broken English》,走的是新浪潮曲 ( 而其中也包含了像是克、和雷鬼 ),果受好,也是自她1965的第一之後,再度入榜美排行榜。中的首《The Ballad of Lucy Jordan》也成她入榜成最佳的歌曲。
歌曲述的是一位中37的家庭主,由於期於如般的生活,感曾的想完全破,由而至狂,甚至在街上裸奔喊叫,最後爬上自家的屋。於歌曲的局,有些人是跳自 ( 尊重生命,打1995 ),而Marianne Faithfull大家曲解了,她Lucy Jordan最後是被消防救下屋,被救往了精神病院。

The morning sun touched lightly on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom
In a white suburban town
And she lay there 'neath the covers
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
'Til the world turned to orange
And the room went spinning round
At the age of thirty seven
She realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing
And she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorized
In her Daddy's easy chair
Her husband, he's off to work
And the kids are off to school
And there were oh so many ways
For her to spend her days
She could clean the house for hours
Or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street
Screaming all the way
At the age of thirty seven
She realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing
As she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized
In her Daddy's easy chair
The evening sun touched gently on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed
When all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man
Who reached and offered her his hand
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd
At the age of thirty seven
She knew she'd found forever
As she rode along through Paris
With the warm wind in her hair
