| 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 |
