歌曲：I Used To Be A Country Singer (Album Version)[00:00:00]

I was sittin' in my hotel room, strummin' my old guitar[00:00:06]

Not much to do when you're far away, playin' some smokey bar[00:00:11]

I was feelin' a little empty and feelin' a little blue[00:00:16]

When the maid came in and asked me if she could do my room [00:00:21]

I put down my old guitar and she gave me a smile[00:00:26]

She had a crusty voice and a drinker's look, but she had a friendly style[00:00:33]

She dusted my room and made my bed and she talked of days gone by[00:00:38]

She spoke of when she wooed the men; a tear came to her eye [00:00:43]

And she said[00:00:49]

I used to be a country singer[00:00:51]

I could sing a mean Patsy Cline[00:00:54]

My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter[00:01:01]

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine [00:01:06]

She told me that her husband died and her son was overseas[00:01:11]

I could tell by her eyes and her broken smile she was lonely just like me[00:01:16]

She asked me if I'd listen to a tape of when she was young[00:01:21]

She said I can't sing now I forgot the words and my voice is almost gone [00:01:27]

And she said[00:01:32]

I used to be a country singer[00:01:34]

I could sing a mean Patsy Cline[00:01:37]

My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter[00:01:44]

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine [00:01:48]

Oh I cried inside but I couldn't tell if it was for her or for me[00:01:54]

So I grabbed my axe and we sang a song in two part harmony[00:01:59]

Ever since that day when I'm feelin' down and I can't find a happy tune[00:02:04]

I just think if that maid and the feeling she gave, when she came to clean my room [00:02:10]

And she said[00:02:16]

I used to be a country singer[00:02:17]

I could sing a mean Patsy Cline[00:02:20]

My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter[00:02:27]

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine [00:02:31]

And she said[00:02:37]

I used to be a country singer[00:02:39]

I could sing a mean Patsy Cline[00:02:42]

My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter[00:02:49]

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine[00:02:53]

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine[00:03:02]
