I Used To Be a Country Singer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was sittin' in my hotel room Strummin' my old guitar Not much to do when you're far away Playin' some smokey bar I was feelin' a little empty And feelin' a little blue When the maid came in and asked me If she could do my room [Verse 2] I put down my old guitar And she gave me a smile She had a crusty voice and a drinker's look But she had a friendly style She dusted my room and made my bed And she talked of days gone by She spoke of when she wooed the men A tear came to her eye [Chorus] And she said I used to be a country singer I could sing a mean Patsy Cline My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine [Verse 3] She told me that her husband died And her son was overseas I could tell by her eyes and her broken smile She was lonely just like me She asked me if I'd listen to A tape of when she was young She said I can't sing now, I forgot the words And my voice is almost gone [Chorus] She said I used to be a country singer I could sing a mean Patsy Cline My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine [Verse 4] Oh, I cried inside but I couldn't tell If it was for her or for me So I grabbed my axe and we sang a song In two-part harmony Ever since that day when I'm feelin' down And I can't find a happy tune I just think if that maid and the feeling she gave When she came to clean my room [Chorus] And she said I used to be a country singer I could sing a mean Patsy Cline My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine I used to be a country singer I could sing a mean Patsy Cline My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine
