Lyrics
Honky-tonkin' on FridayYou stood all aloneIn a dress made for summerWith a picture and a pink long-stem rose
My bonnie lie over the bar roomAs I ran to her sideI inquired her name and purposeI took a drink as I swam through her eyes
Said I'd call you on MondayNo matter what you sayAnd darling we'll marryThough your father won't like me
You quoted me scripturesYes you cleansed me from sinSorry I was late to our weddingI was down at the bar again
But we moved to KentuckyWhere I worked the landWe were only to stay for a short whileBut the days turned to Years 'neath these hands
Lover I'm sorry but I did this unto meCan't you forgive meFor being so lonelyLove I'm soon to leave youYes babe I'm sure to dieBury me with a bottle of bourbonAnd a picture of your sweet blue eyes
But I saved up some moneySo you could goSee you mother down in MemphisAnd buy another pink long-stem rose
Lover did you seeWhat the bottle done to meWon't you forgive meI guess I'll take in the lonelyI'll take in the lonely
