Eilen Jewell - Queen of the Minor Key lyrics

The day I was born a gypsy looked at me She told my mama she could easily see Just how bright my future would be For I was gonna be royalty No crown will sit on her poor head A barstool will be her throne she said Instead of riches and finery She'll have a wealth of sad songs and whiskey She'll be the queen, the queen, the queen, The queen of the minor key And so you see I play the part Before empty gla**es and broken hearts You're in the right court if blue's what you need But if it's sunshine you're after don't bother me I'm the queen, the queen, the queen, The queen of the minor key I'm the queen of lonely tunes, The queen of the high shelf booze The queen of melancholy Queen of the minor key
