I Used To Be a Country Singer Gordon Lightfoot

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
