Ernest Tubb - Don't Trade Your Old Fashioned Sweetheart (For A Honky Tonk Queen) Lyrics

Ernest Tubb Lyrics

"Don't Trade Your Old Fashioned Sweetheart (For A Honky Tonk Queen)"

Take away the bright lights and music
Take away the powder and pain
And you'll find that a honky tonk angel
Can't compare with your home lovin' saint

She's just another woman who'll never make a home
She's had sweethearts before you
She'll have others when you're gone
Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen

She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder
And she'll speak of a broken romance
She'll say that things might have been different
Take pity but don't take a chance

Don't take a cheap imitation when you have a real pearl
Don't take this hard hearted woman for your old fashioned girl
Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen
