Verse:
|
|
Well, it won't be long now
|
Til 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 the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
It's a shame she wears the name
|
Of a man who's locked and chained
|
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
|
To the men with hungry eyes
|
She works and hides her pride
|
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
