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.
It won't be long now until that old sun goes down
And up those stairs I hide my shameful tears
'Cos I work all night long
For a man who's half way gone
I'm the barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
And it's a shame
I wear the name
Of a man who's now been chained
To a bottle that destroys all hopes and cares
To a man with lonely eyes
I work and hide my pride
I'm the barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
It won't be long now until that old sun goes down
And up those stairs I hide my shameful tears
'Cos I work all night long
For a man who's half way gone
I'm the barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
And it's a shame
I wear the name
Of a man who's now been chained
To a bottle that destroys all hopes and cares
To a man with lonely eyes
I work and hide my pride
I'm the barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
