She Burnt The Little Roadside Tavern Down

(Bill Howard)



Oh, she burnt the little roadside tavern down (oh yeah)

The only one for miles and miles around

I saw many hours of pleasure tumble down

When she burnt the little roadside tavern down.



It was my home away from home those many nights of gettin' stoned're gone

This is what she had to say man you'd better stay away

Or I'll burn that little tavern down someday



Oh, she burnt the little roadside tavern down (oh yeah)

The only one for miles and miles around

I saw many hours of pleasure tumble down

When she burnt the little roadside tavern down.



--- Instrumental ---



It was there I had my freedom all night long

But she'd fuss and say I had done her wrong

She said man you'll never learn just step back and watch it burn

And now that little roadside tavern's gone.



So she burnt the little roadside tavern down (oh yeah)

The only one for miles and miles around

I saw many hours of pleasure tumble down

When she burnt the little roadside tavern down...
