Lyrics for 'I Used To Be A Country Singer' by 'Gordon Lightfoot'
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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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
Kitty Wells Was A Real Good Friend Of Mine
