Mother Of A Honky Tonk Girl
Recorded by Jim Reeves and Carol Johnson
Written by Bob Newman

C F C
I'm the mother of a honky tonk girl
G7 C
And I die when they speak my baby's name
F C
I hope that God will forgive me
G7 C
For now I know that I'm to blame

Spoken:

F
Excuse me friend for intruding this way
C
But there's something I've just got to say

I remember this girl they're whispering about
G7
Just like it was yesterday when she was small
C
They'd bring her in the tavern and set her on a stool

And give her a drink of their beer and laugh
F
I thought oh you crazy fools
C
But what could I do or what could I say
G7
I'm just a bartender and work here for my pay
C
And I could cry when I hear a mother say

Repeat #1

F
You probably wonder why
C
I chose to condemn the stuff I sell

But I've seen the hurt it's caused
G7
And the souls it's sent to hell
C
Once they're on the wrong road

With temptation let us turn around

Like the girl they're all talking about
F
The one they're running down
C
Instead of giving her a drink of beer

Where angels have never trod
G7
They should have given her a taste of love
C
Yes and a taste of God

F C
I hope that God will forgive me
G7 C
I'm the mother of a honky tonk girl
