(Dallas/Frazier)
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
