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

''cause 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

''cause 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
