letra de mother of a honky tonk girl - jim reeves
jim reeves & carol johnson
(sang – carol)
i’m the mother of a honky tonk girl
and i die when they speak my babies name
i hope that god will forgive me
for now i know that i’m to blame.
(spoken – jim)
excuse me friend
for intruding this way
but there’s somethng
i’ve just got to say.
i remember this girl
they’re whispering about
just like it was yesterday
when she was small.
they’d bring her in the tavern
and set her on a stool
and give her a drink of their beer and laugh.
i thought, oh, you crazy fools.
but what could i do
or what could i say
i’m just a bar tender
and work here for my pay.
and i just cry
when i hear a mother say.
(sang – carol)
i’m the mother of a honky tonk girl
and i die when they speak my babies name
i hope that god will forgive me
for now i know that i’m to blame.
(spoken – jim)
you probably wonder why
i chose to condemn the stuff i sell
but i’ve seen the hurt it’s caused
and the souls it’s sent to h-ll.
once they’re on the wrong road
with temptation let us turn around
like the girl they’re all talking about
the one they’re running down.
instead of giving her a drink of beer
where angels have never trod
they should have given her a taste of love
yes, and a taste of god.
(sang – carol)
i hope that god will forgive me
i’m the mother of a honky tonk girl…
