I Heard the Jukebox Playing

(Webb Pierce - Kitty Wells - Linda Baggett)



You said that you'd be happy

With a baby on your knees

But here I sat with him in my arms

And you're slippin' around on me.



You thought that you were being wise

When you called me on the phone

And you said that you had been delayed

But you'd soon be coming home.



I knew that you've been cheatin'

'Cause you stayed away so long

And I heard the jukebox playing

When you called me on the phone.

Now it couldn't have been the radio

'Cause it had a honky tonk sound

And the same old song kept comin' and a goin'

And beat kept shufflin' around.



When I heard the people laughing

I knew there must be something wrong

For it was much too late to be delayed

For I could see the break of dawn.



I knew that you've been cheatin'

'Cause you stayed away so long

And I heard the jukebox playing

When you called me on the phone...
