Lonely Side Of Town
Recorded by Kitty Wells
Written by Roy Botkin
An outstanding 'chart-topper' hit in the late 50's/early 60's!
Key of A, no capo needed to play with the Youtube song.
V#1
A E7 A
You're uptown tonight where all the bright lights glow
D A
Where all the honky tonks with wine and music flow
D A
And I've been walking with these blues since sundown
E7 A
Looking for you on the lonely side of town
V#2
E7 A
I can see the lights of town from where I stand
D A
Now I know you're having fun and holding hands
D A
I knew tonight when you never came around
E7 A
That you had left me on the lonely side of town
Instrumental, about two lines of a verse.
V#3
E7 A
Though the life they live up there has lured your heart
D A
To where they dance and slip around till after dark
D A
Now the wild life and the pretty girls you found
E7 A
And you've left me on the lonely side of town
V#4
E7 A
I wish I could be uptown with you tonight
D A
For I'm afraid that you've found someone new you like
D A
Now I don't want to give away my wedding gown
E7 A
And be left on the lonely side of town
End
