Tom T Hall - Brand New Bartender lyrics

rate me

(Tom T. Hall)

Boys we got us a brand new bartender

She's as innocent as a fly in the ole beer

Why I'm just killin' the blues with the happy hour twos

And she don't know how often we come in here.

Oh it's easy to mix for the hungover sick

Boy the same ole sorry lot

We got us a brand new bartender boys

And she don't know a saint from a sot.

She fits good in her little black britches

Lard she ain't heard no trouble till now

She ain't heard no lines of the down and out kind

And she got big innocent eyes like a cow.

She'll be sorry she came when the halls and the lame

And the crazy drift into this place

We got us a brand new bartender boys

And she's still got a smile on her face.

--- Instrumental ---

She's from somewhere way out in the country

She came in on a big Trailways Bus

Aw she ain't got a clue bout the boys and the blues

She's thinking that she's ready for us.

Well Lard there ain't no excuse for the folks they turn loose

And send them all down to this place

Aw we got us a brand new bartender boys

And she's still got a smile on her face.

So let's drink to the last bartender boys

Or we buried her with a smile on her face...
