The Girl Behind The Bar
Recorded by The Country Gentlemen
Written by Carter Stanley

C
As I walked in the Wayside Tavern
F C
The smell of drink was in the air
F C
I threw my money on the counter
G7 C
This pretty maid was standing there


My thoughts they drifted so far from me
F C
As I looked upon her lovely face
F C
I knew she was my kind of woman
G7 C
No one could ever take her place


I said when working hours are over
F C
I would just love to see you home
F C
She said young man that is my pleasure
G7 C
And soon we found ourselves alone


And then our arms went around each other
F C
I felt a knife stick in her back
F C
She turned and saw her lover running
G7 C
And said his name was Barnum Jack


She did not know her lover followed
F C
She did not know he was around
F C
Until the fate of death had struck her
G7 C
And now she sleeps beneath the ground


I sit alone tonight in prison
F C
My thoughts are of the one so fair
F C
That I met that night in the Wayside Tavern
G7 C
When the smell of drink was in the air
