Loretta Lynn – Sundown Tavern lyrics

(Tracey Lee)

There's a place downtown where my man hangs around
Drinkin' and a winkin' and a playin' around
Sundown tavern you're a sorrow bound
I'm gettin' ready to burn you down.

Sundown tavern now you're to blame
You have brought my man to shame
Sundown tavern won't be the same
I'm ready and waitin' to set you a flame.

Sundown, Sundown, you've been keepin' my man broke
Sundown, Sundown, Sundown tavern you'll go up in smoke
Sundown tavern now you're a disgrace
Satan's den for the human race.

Sundown tavern's where my man stays
You're goin' up with a mighty big blaze
Sundown tavern now you've got what's mine
You've wrapped his brain with your bubblin' wine.

The torch I've carried is in my hand
And now you're ready for the promised land
Sundown, Sundown, I'm gonna watch you hit the ground
Sundown, Sundown, Sundown tavern I'm a burnin' you down.

Sundown, Sundown, I'm gonna watch you hit the ground
Sundown, Sundown, Sundown tavern I've burnt you down...
