Lyrics
Honky Tonk Downstairs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, it won't be long now
Until that ol' sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man that's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
