I walked out tonight for a ramble round
|
I didn't mean to stay just to view the town
|
When I saw her smiling from afar
|
As she walked into that crossroads bar
|
|
Well I walked inside and sat me down
|
Ordered sweet red wine and I drank it down
|
She came and set beside me there
|
With a dark brown eyes and the red, red hair
|
|
I told her that I loved her true
|
Anything you want I'll surely do
|
Said a man like you don't get too far
|
With a girl like me at the crossroads bar
|
|
I like smoky light and a lonesome song
|
And I won't do right if I can do wrong
|
You want the moon to burn behind the darkest star
|
And you won't find love at the crossroads bar
|
|
Come all my friends and take my advice
|
Keep your love at home with your lovely wife
|
You're better off than you think you are
|
And you won't find love at the crossroads bar
|
