lirik lagu i used to be a country singer – 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
