《Mother of a Honky Tonk Girl(Remaster)》歌词

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

[00:00:02] Written by：Jim Reeves

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

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

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

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

[00:00:36] Excuse me friend

[00:00:37] For intruding this way

[00:00:39] But there's something

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

[00:00:42] I remember this girl

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

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

[00:00:46] When she was small

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:02] And I just cry

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

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

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

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

[00:01:26] For now I know that I'm to blame

[00:01:34] You probably wonder why

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:56] They should have given her a taste of love

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

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

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