I Burnt the Little Roadside Tavern Down Songtext

von Loretta Lynn

Oh, I burnt the little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles around
Now, it's a pile of ashes on the ground
Yeah, I burnt the little roadside tavern down.

Oh, I warned my man to just stay away from that tavern
Or I'll burn it down someday
I think he thought it was a joke until he smelled the smoke
Then he screaned that woman finally got her way.

Oh, I burnt the little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles around
Now, it's a pile of ashes on the ground
Yeah, I burnt the little roadside tavern down.

He acted like a man who'd lost it's mind
After he bought all those bottles of wine
You should have heard him talk and shout
As he tried to put it out.
Drowin' water on the bucket at a time

Oh I burnt the little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles around
Now, it's a pile of ashes on the ground
Yeah, I burnt the little roadside tavern down.

Yes, I burnt the little roadside tavern down...
