The Honky Tonk Downstairs By Quatro, Suzi – Song Lyrics

Well, it won’t be long now

Til that ‘ol sun goes down

And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.

My wife works all night long

For a man who’s halfway gone

I’m the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

It’s a shame she wears the name

Of a man who’s locked and chained

To a bottle that’s destroyin’ all hopes and cares.

To the men with hungry eyes

I work and hide her pride

I’m the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

Til that ‘ol sun goes down

And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.

My wife works all night long

For a man who’s halfway gone

I’m the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

It’s a shame she wears the name

Of a man who’s locked and chained

To a bottle that’s destroyin’ all hopes and cares.

To the men with hungry eyes

I’m work and hide by pride

I’m the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

I’m the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
