Suzi Quatro - The Honky Tonk Downstairs Lyrics






Well, it won't be long now
Til that 'ol sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone

I'm the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
To the men with hungry eyes
I work and hide her pride

I'm the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

Til that 'ol sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone

I'm the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
To the men with hungry eyes
I'm work and hide by pride

I'm the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
I'm the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

    Listening to various covers of this Dallas Frazier song, recorded by George Jones and Poco.
    Whew!
    Great to hear chicks doing it and from a chick's point of view.
    This rock version terrific. Usually done as sad country.
    What energy! and talent.

    I absolutely love this song. Suzi brings such energy and charisma to it. Whenever I am feeling blue, this is the song I go to on you-tube. Also love the trad country versions by George Jones, Poco, and Big Tom McBride (Ireland). Wonderful stuff!

    I know it by POCO, just listened to George Jones (great). I will check out Big Tom McBride.

    Once again you have proven yourself to be a mental midget.
    You misspelled the following, dumbass: You're, entitled, and negative.
    It is truly terrifying to know that someone as mentally unstable and anger prone as you are is allowed to walk the streets freely.
    Go back to the mental institution, psycho.
    I mean, really.

  20. E.... ....

    @steverednova You aren't very intelligent are you?
    It's stupid people like you who give criticism a bad name.
    I mean, really.
    Halfwit.

  21. E.... ....

    @steverednova It's frightening to know that a psychotic like you is allowed roam the streets freely.
    You have, however, proved my point--you are a dumbass for two obvious reasons.
    You criticized a great artist like Suzi and you watch American Idol.
    Do the world a favor, don't breed.
    Cretin.

  22. D.... v....

    GREAT VIDEO!

  23. E.... ....

    @steverednova
    Dumbass.
    I mean, really.

    Len Tuckey treated Suzi just fine in the 70's and they have remained firm friends to this day. He just didn't like her acting, but that never stopped Suzi at all.

    I don't see how people can insult him when they can't even spell his name right- let alone criticize how he treated his wife!! ¬¬

  28. i.... s....

    i first saw suzi in 1973 and i am a lifetime fan. love this its one of my faves and i love peter peter anyone heard that one

  29. k.... n....

  31. p.... ....

    What a great song I love Suzi Thaks for the video

  32. T.... ....

    Z przyjemnością słucham muzyki Suzi. Szkoda, że tak niewiele video, a zwłaszcza z dobrym wykonaniem na żywo ocalało.

    I don't get it...potential for what? Here we have a babe..wearing leather..playin' a bass..playing rock and roll. What more could you want? She's a trailblazer. She wasn't about to join ELP or Yes. Rock and roll doesn't always pay the bills, but I think she got to do what she wanted to do.
    Great video! Thanks!

  34. M.... R....

    How did he trat her?

  35. B.... ....

    We all know how he treated you during the later part of your marrige, and Im glad you finally broke loose. Rock on girl !
