Lyrics Queen Of The Minor Key - Eilen Jewell

Queen Of The Minor Key

The day I was born a gypsy looked at me
She told my mama she could easily see
Just how bright my future would be
For I was gonna be royalty
No crown will sit on her poor head
A barstool will be her throne she said
Instead of riches and finery
She' ll have a wealth of sad songs and whiskey
She 'll be the queen, the queen, the queen
The queen of the minor key
And so you see I play the part
Before empty glasses and broken hearts
You' re in the right court if blue' s what you need
But if it 's sunshine you' re after don' t bother me
I 'm the queen, the queen, the queen
The queen of the minor key
I 'm the queen of lonely tunes
The queen of the high shelf booze
The queen of melancholy
Queen of the minor key
