Lyrics:
TRADITIONAL (Ruby Jakes):

She's there at the bar every evening
Face powdered and cheeks painted red
Her beauty has faded too early
Brought on by the fast life she led

She's more to be pitied than scolded
She needs to be loved, not despised
Too much beer and wine, too many good times
The lure of the honky tonk wrecked her young life

She once was the belle of the ballroom
She'd made some man a sweet wife
But too many parties, the wrong kind of pals
Ruined her happy young life

You guys should... &mdash 05/12/06 - 08:38:54 AM
be doing movie soundtracks. You have a sound that harkens back to the
20's. I like all of your music you've posted.

Thanks!

Man, good stuff. I am going to download this and let my family hear it.
They are huge fans of bluegrass and they play and sing it also. This is
probably the best song I've heard on this site so far. Good mix, good
words, great production and sound. I am reminded of sitting with my
grandfather and playing. We do that often. Good job, I rarely use the
word awesome on this site.

Not only have I heard Joanna's barroom songs, I dedicated this to her (see
descriptor at top of page). So much for thinking people read those things!
Thanks for the hey ho none the less.

can't say that I listen to much bluegrass, but the musicianship in this
piece is top-notch--the vocals especially. Your production is flawless
as well. I've never had to do so, but I can only imagine how hard it is to
mix five instruments and multiple vocal tracks that well.

Superb!

P.S. The cover art is poetry by itself, an awesome photo.
