Strait, George - Honky Tonk Downstairs Lyrics
Well, it won't be long now
Til that 'ol sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone
[Chorus:]
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
[Chorus]

Strait, George Honky Tonk Downstairs Comments
👍👍👍👍
Dallas Frazier did not write this song.
yeah he did. i have the LP, and it gives songwriting credit to Dallas Frazier. George Jones sang it too, and on his release of it also has credit to Dallas Frazier
He was credited with writing it, but he didn't. When the demo tape was sent in, it only had the last name "Frazier" on it. So i guess it was assumed it was Dallas Frazier. George Strait knows. He was sitting in our living room when my father played it for him. It was in Hawaii "74" -"75". Strait was in the army, and my dad was in the airforce. I was 10 at the time. I remember Stairt who was 19-20 at the time, that if he ever made it big he was going to record the song.
@h2ofrazier wow, very interesting.
Just seen George in Columbus Ohio in June and let me tell you he’s still got it!!!!
Love you George strait
George Strait never puts out a bad song.He is absolutely the best Country singer around .The King of
Texas.
When I m felling bad I listened to him
Yep, ole' king and I have drank alot together. He is the perfect friend.
Good song
thanks for listening
Another gem that I've never heard before. Outstanding George
This song is off of his first album Strait Country. Every song on that album is superb.
I need to buy more big record s
My favorite of all time.. no one like King George
I like George stair. But he can't sing like it the Possum himself . George Jones
king of country
George is Awesome !!!
this is a very great love song and I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH
this is a very great love song and I LOVE THIS MAN AND THE MUSIC IS VERY GOOD
Excellent!!! When country was country and the singers used their real accents!
Very talented.
One of my favorites. Takes me back when I met him in 1983.
This is simply great...I state the obvious
Nobody enters the arena like George Strait. He has more #1's than anybody. He is the only person in concert that sounds like he does on the radio. His band is amazing.
People always assume when I say I like old country that I like Johnny Cash, Willie, Waylon, etc. I cannot stand them. This is my idea of perfect music, right here. 1980s George Strait is the most beautifully unique sound that nobody has ever come close to. Even his covers take on a completely different vibe than the original versions, and this live version blows the album version out of the water. The mix of vocal whine, barroom echo, strong 2:4 beat, coarse fiddle/steel....they all just set a mood I have never gotten from any other singer (and not even George himself after about 1989).
George does covers BETTER than the original artists. jmo
bad. ass
guys I'm telling u no body sings better than George Strait
he need to take them sunglasses off
Eric Lewis its a photo, he cant lol
I think they look fabulous.
Fuckin awesome. Thank you.
Hell yeah
simply outstanding
Not bad... Hes no Jones though.
Gordon Shumway agree ,hes no Gorge Jones but as far as thos song goes, I like George Straits version better! the music is better in Straits version. I love Jones other songs hes very unique and not many can sound like him.
No, his last name isn't Jones, and he shows up to all his shows. All great country singer names = George
14 songs were #1 , 166 chart singles more then any other artist in any other music format , 81 in the top ten 169 in the top 100 . 9 songs on the charts in one year - 1965 Consecutive songs on the charts from 1955 to 1998 any idea whose stats them are ? I will give you a hint The KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC .
I will gladly listen to both. Each has their own nuances. It's a win-win situation really.
This is completely bad ass. Do you have any more from this show?
@enjoies05 enjoies05 Glad you like it. I have a bunch of old George Jones concert recordings. Keep an eye on my channel and hopefully I'll get around to posting more eventually. Thanks for listening.
@the winner Awesome! I check your channel every day so I know I'll see it when it comes up. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic! Saw George for the first time around this time in San Marcos, TX. It was standing room and the women were pushing to get to the front. Thanks
San Marcos is one of his homes he has a horse ranch there
