The Honeycutters - Barmaid's Blues lyrics

That's alright Joe, don't you cry no let me pour you another gla** of beer sure the bar's closed, but by now you oughta know if you've got nowhere to go you can stay here and we can talk about the better days when you always had a card to play and the piano and the poker games, they carried us away that outlaw Jesse James he was known to keep a spare ace and he shot this place full of holes but he sure could tell a joke Now all of the gunslingers got rings on their fingers and they got the barroom girls home ironing their shirts and I've got a feeling like I'm waiting on the last train home it's been a little slow but it's coming I know Do you remember that oil man? I probably should have married him he always had an honest dime to spend but he couldn't dance and I was never one to compromise I've always been the stubborn kind so when he rode out of town, I just laughed and how the whiskey burned and how the men did flirt like the ponies tied outside pawing at the dirt I broke the years down, I turned 'em into days and one by one I danced 'em all away chorus Now I serve' em what they ask for they got the money I'll give something more it still says welcome on the front door we keep that old piano tuned but when it's time to close it's just you and me Joe and the ghost of something great here in this room chorus
