| [00:06.18] |
I was sittin' in my hotel room, strummin' my old guitar |
| [00:11.13] |
Not much to do when you're far away, playin' some smokey bar |
| [00:16.15] |
I was feelin' a little empty and feelin' a little blue |
| [00:21.59] |
When the maid came in and asked me if she could do my room |
| [00:26.76] |
I put down my old guitar and she gave me a smile |
| [00:33.39] |
She had a crusty voice and a drinker's look, but she had a friendly style |
| [00:38.60] |
She dusted my room and made my bed and she talked of days gone by |
| [00:43.81] |
She spoke of when she wooed the men; a tear came to her eye |
| [00:48.94] |
|
| [00:49.95] |
And she said |
| [00:51.25] |
I used to be a country singer |
| [00:54.31] |
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline |
| [01:01.46] |
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter |
| [01:06.04] |
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine |
| [01:10.33] |
|
| [01:11.79] |
She told me that her husband died and her son was overseas |
| [01:16.75] |
I could tell by her eyes and her broken smile she was lonely just like me |
| [01:21.68] |
She asked me if I'd listen to a tape of when she was young |
| [01:27.05] |
She said I can't sing now I forgot the words and my voice is almost gone |
| [01:31.87] |
|
| [01:32.83] |
And she said |
| [01:34.18] |
I used to be a country singer |
| [01:37.34] |
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline |
| [01:44.54] |
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter |
| [01:48.32] |
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine |
| [01:52.89] |
|
| [01:54.86] |
Oh I cried inside but I couldn't tell if it was for her or for me |
| [01:59.73] |
So I grabbed my axe and we sang a song in two part harmony |
| [02:04.96] |
Ever since that day when I'm feelin' down and I can't find a happy tune |
| [02:10.14] |
I just think if that maid and the feeling she gave, when she came to clean my room |
| [02:15.41] |
|
| [02:16.07] |
And she said |
| [02:17.47] |
I used to be a country singer |
| [02:20.44] |
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline |
| [02:27.65] |

| [02:31.28] |
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine |
| [02:36.10] |
