歌词

[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
