Loretta Lynn
"Sundown Tavern" lyrics

Sundown Tavern

There's a place downtown
Where my man hangs around
Drinking and a winking
And a playing around
Sundown Tavern
You're a sorrow bound
Cause I'm getting 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 waiting
To set you aflame

Sundown
Sundown
You've been keeping 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'll go up
In a mighty big blaze

Sundown Tavern
Now you've got what's mine
You've wrapped his brain
With your bubbling wine
The torch I've carried
Is in my hand
And now you're headed
For the promised land

Sundown
Sundown
I'm gonna watch you hit the ground
Sundown
Sundown
Sundown Tavern
I'm a burning you down

Sundown
Sundown
I'm gonna watch you hit the ground
Sundown
Sundown
Sundown Tavern
I've burnt you down
