[00:06.18]	I was sittin' in my hotel room, strummin' my old guitar
[00:11.13]	Not much to do when you're far away, playin' some smokey bar
[00:16.15]	I was feelin' a little empty and feelin' a little blue
[00:21.59]	When the maid came in and asked me if she could do my room
[00:26.76]	I put down my old guitar and she gave me a smile
[00:33.39]	She had a crusty voice and a drinker's look, but she had a friendly style
[00:38.60]	She dusted my room and made my bed and she talked of days gone by
[00:43.81]	She spoke of when she wooed the men; a tear came to her eye
[00:48.94]
[00:49.95]	And she said
[00:51.25]	I used to be a country singer
[00:54.31]	I could sing a mean Patsy Cline
[01:01.46]	My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
[01:06.04]	Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine
[01:10.33]
[01:11.79]	She told me that her husband died and her son was overseas
[01:16.75]	I could tell by her eyes and her broken smile she was lonely just like me
[01:21.68]	She asked me if I'd listen to a tape of when she was young
[01:27.05]	She said I can't sing now I forgot the words and my voice is almost gone
[01:31.87]
[01:32.83]	And she said
[01:34.18]	I used to be a country singer
[01:37.34]	I could sing a mean Patsy Cline
[01:44.54]	My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
[01:48.32]	Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine
[01:52.89]
[01:54.86]	Oh I cried inside but I couldn't tell if it was for her or for me
[01:59.73]	So I grabbed my axe and we sang a song in two part harmony
[02:04.96]	Ever since that day when I'm feelin' down and I can't find a happy tune
[02:10.14]	I just think if that maid and the feeling she gave, when she came to clean my room
[02:15.41]
[02:16.07]	And she said
[02:17.47]	I used to be a country singer
[02:20.44]	I could sing a mean Patsy Cline
[02:27.65]	My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
[02:31.28]	Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine
[02:36.10]
[02:37.46]	And she said
[02:39.49]	I used to be a country singer
[02:42.73]	I could sing a mean Patsy Cline
[02:49.43]	My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
[02:53.14]	Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine
[03:02.77]	Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine

[00:06.18]	当我坐在小旅店里拨弄着老吉它的琴弦
[00:11.13]	如此漫长的旅行总是有些无聊
[00:16.15]	去到一些满是香烟味的酒馆里弹唱，我渐感怅惘
[00:21.59]	这儿的女佣走进来询问，可否整理我的房间
[00:26.76]	我便放下老吉它，看到她给予我微笑
[00:33.39]	她有个粗嗓门和酒鬼似的面容，但看起来又挺友善的
[00:38.60]	当她清理地面的灰尘，整理被服时，她便讲述起了她的过往
[00:43.81]	谈到那过去岁月的爱情时，忽然无法掩藏她的泪水
[00:49.95]	她和我说
[00:51.25]	我曾是一位乡村歌手
[00:54.31]	我的唱腔和Patsy Cline有些相似（美国女性民谣歌手，活跃于60年代初，早逝）
[01:01.46]	我丈夫唱起约德尔来就像Wilf Carter（加拿大乡村音乐之父）
[01:06.04]	Kitty Wells还是我一个很好的朋友呢（美国先锋乡村女歌手，使乡村音乐不再是男性的专属，她是第一位登上乡村音乐排行榜的女性歌手）
[01:11.79]	她告诉我，丈夫在儿子远漂重洋之时便死去了
[01:16.75]	从她那零落的笑容与眼神之中我能读到，与我相似的孤独
[01:21.68]	她问我是否愿意听她年轻时的录音带
[01:27.05]	“我已不再能歌唱了，我那过去的声音几乎消失不见”
[01:32.83]	她和我说
[01:34.18]	我曾是一位乡村歌手
[01:37.34]	我的声音像Patsy Cline那样
[01:44.54]	我丈夫唱起约德尔来就像Wilf Carter
[01:48.32]	Kitty Wells还是我一个很好的朋友呢
[01:54.86]	噢！我内心深处也同她一般哀伤，可不知是因为她还是我自己
[01:59.73]	我便扳着我的老斧头（指吉他）和陪她唱着和声
[02:04.96]	那日当我渐感沉郁，我无法以欢快的音调去歌唱
[02:10.14]	充满脑海的只是，当她清理我房间时，带给我的感受罢了
[02:16.07]	她和我说
[02:17.47]	我曾是一位乡村歌手
[02:20.44]	我的唱腔和Patsy Cline有些相似
[02:27.65]	我丈夫唱起约德尔来就像Wilf Carter
[02:31.28]	那时Kitty Wells还是我一个很好的朋友
[02:37.46]	她和我说
[02:39.49]	我曾是一位乡村歌手
[02:42.73]	我的唱腔和Patsy Cline有些相似
[02:49.43]	我丈夫唱起约德尔来就像Wilf Carter
[02:53.14]	那时Kitty Wells还是我一个很好的朋友
[03:02.77]	Kitty Wells曾经是我一个很好的朋友
