Mother of a Honky Tonk Girl (Remaster) - Jim Reeves[00:00:00]

Written by：Jim Reeves[00:00:02]

I'm the mother of a honky tonk girl[00:00:08]

And I die when they speak my baby's name[00:00:15]

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[00:00:39]

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

I remember this girl[00:00:42]

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

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

When she was small[00:00:46]

They'd bring her in the tavern[00:00:47]

And set her on a stool[00:00:48]

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

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

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

Or what could I say[00:00:56]

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

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

And I just cry[00:01:02]

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

I'm the mother of a honky tonk girl[00:01:05]

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[00:01:26]

You probably wonder why[00:01:34]

I chose to condemn the stuff I sell[00:01:36]

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[00:01:56]

Yes and a taste of God[00:01:59]

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

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