Frank Sinatra, "Lady Is ATramp" A Brief Interpretation, Please?

Question

How does the following make "her" a Tramp:

"Doesn't like dice games with Barons and Earls...Won't go to Harlem with Ermine and Pearls"

"She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair...Life without care...Shes broke, but its ok..She hates California, its cold and its damp."

(And lastly)

"Doesnt like dice games, with sharpies and frauds...Wont go to harlem, in Lincolns or Fords...Wont dish the dirt, with the rest of those Broads."

And this is why the Lady is a Tramp?

I am a Frank Sinatra fan, Chicago, New York, My Way, That's Life, etc...but the one song that I get "stuck" on in terms of interpretation is this one.

I know there is a big Sinatra fan out there who holds "all the dirt" (lol) on this - please share YOUR interpretation.

Gratzi!

Answer 1

I have never really understood this song either Gerry! IDK...my best guess is that she (the Lady) goes her own way and does her own thing...in other words doesn't follow the crowd or what the other girls about town are doing! Maybe she is such a classy lady, that they feel a bit envious of her and feel the need to call her a (tramp) and put her down out of jealousy...in order for them to feel better about themselves and their own misdeeds!!!

Answer 2

I might think that the definition of 'Tramp' was not ment to be a woman of the street, but more of a tramp around town. A blue color person..
