Mother of a Honky Tonk Girl - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)/D.R[00:00:01]

Written by：Jim Reeves[00:00:03]

I'm the mother of a honky tonk girl[00:00:07]

And I die when they speak my baby's name[00:00:14]

I hope that God will forgive me[00:00:22]

For now I know that I'm to blame[00:00:29]

Excuse me friend[00:00:36]

For intruding this way[00:00:37]

But there's something[00:00:38]

I've just got to say[00:00:39]

I remember this girl[00:00:41]

They're whispering about[00:00:43]

Just like it was yesterday[00:00:44]

When she was small[00:00:45]

They'd bring her in the tavern[00:00:46]

And set her on a stool[00:00:47]

And give her a drink of their beer and laugh[00:00:49]

And I thought oh you crazy fools[00:00:51]

But what could I do[00:00:54]

Or what could I say[00:00:55]

I'm just a bar tender[00:00:58]

And work here for my pay[00:00:59]

And I could cry[00:01:01]

When I hear a mother say[00:01:02]

I'm the mother of a honky tonk girl[00:01:04]

And I die when they speak my baby's name[00:01:12]

I hope that God will forgive me[00:01:19]

For now I know that I'm to blame[00:01:27]

You probably wonder why[00:01:34]

I chose to condemn the stuff I sell[00:01:35]

But I've seen the hurt it's caused[00:01:39]

And the souls it's sent to hell[00:01:41]

Once they're on the wrong road[00:01:44]

With temptation let us turn around[00:01:45]

Like the girl they're all talking about[00:01:47]

The one they're running down[00:01:49]

Instead of giving her a drink of beer[00:01:51]

Where angels have never trod[00:01:53]

They should have given her a taste of love[00:01:55]

Yes and a taste of God[00:01:58]

I hope that God will forgive me[00:02:03]

I'm the mother of a honky tonk girl[00:02:09]
